Of course I know what “common era” stands for, what is strange is the words common era are meaningless as a replacement for AD.

Just what does common era mean? Is this the most common era? was the time of the Trojan war the most common era? The phrase is simply meaningless and was chosen for no logical reason.

If it was good enough for Asimov and Heinlein then it is good enough for me!
