What is this BCE? Is it dated from the birth of the baby Jesus? Why the reluctance to base dates from the birth of baby Jesus? BC and AD are universally recognized and many non Christian organizations and individuals use them. Might be a good article but I stop when I see BCE.
Oh look, another nick.
Easy to understand: Before CHRISTIAN era. And CE: CHRISTIAN ERA. Spread the word! Just put it in all of the writings going forward.
“What is this BCE?”
It used to be “BC”: Before Christ.
Woke hated the “Christ” part and changed it to “BCE”: Before Current Era.
There’s a TV ad for gold by (I think) Dr. Phil. The first few times I heard it, he said “BCE”, and I cringed. Apparently, others did, too, and complained. Now they’ve edited out the “E”; it’s just chopped off. You don’t notice the editing unless you noticed what he used to say.
