I am.
CE, BCE (current era, before current era) makes no sense. What event distinguishes the two? Hmmm….

Everybody is... AD, BC... Any other letters are a bastardization of reality.

BCE an CE are “common era”. Those terms used to only be used used by Jews and Muslims instead of Before Christ and Anno Dominum.

I am. When I don’t see BC/AD in an article I am suspicious.

It’s not revisionist it’s the internationally agreed upon date standard for scientists that is neutral to religion since most people on this planet are not one religion. This is a scientific journal and shocker they also use SI measurements too.

CE and BCE is in the same scientific system as meters and centigrade.

Or would you prefer to use the Chinese calender or the Hebrew one they both predate the Julian and Georgian calendars by at least 3000 years.

What you foolishly take as an affront is just what the whole global scientific community agreed on so we can use a common system nothing more.
