Should be AD, not CE.

I don’t buy into this PC Woke garbage rewriting of our language.

Simcha should buy a clue.

BC and AD are Christian methods of dating BCE and CE have been around long before PC was invented and has been used by non-Christian and scientists for hundreds of years. I first came across its use in the mid-seventies reading a Jewish text. A Jewish Chaplain visiting the base educated me on it's usage. Simcha is correct in this case and you are wrong. I am not a fan of Simcha so I do not say that often.
