You can insist on "Common" if you like, but I will stick to "Christian." I prefer not to accept the pagans' usage.

It's not pagan, and it's not Christian. It's just a way to measure time. I'm a Christian, but I'm not an Anglican, so I see no reason to use their system, either, which the BC/AD system is, effectively. Like I said, Ussher's been dead a long time, and he made some really lousy assumptions in his calculations.

I won't insist you use it correctly, though, as that's your choice.
