“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.
