Thank you. BCE is a made up term like cis gender. Even agnostic scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson call it ridiculous.

You are all neglecting the backstory behind the change.

There have been two competing brands of headache powders. The second one, Goody’s, disliked the fact that the first one, BC, was constantly receiving free publicity every time someone wrote about ancient history. So they pushed for the alteration to BCE, with the cover narrative that “Before Common Era” promoted equity and inclusion, in the hope that people studying history would stop thinking about Goody’s competition.
