"Water from 400AD"

That should be AD 400. AD = anno domini = Year of Our Lord.

Thus: The Year of Our Lord, 400.

With BC (Before Christ) it's the opposite: 400 BC.

(And, yes I know that liberals like to use BCE and CE instead. Don't get me started on that)

Naah, no reason to be upset with the relabeling.

BCE = Before Christian Era.
CE = Christian Era.

Wanna keep a liberal occupied? Ask him what year Christ thought it was.
