I was curious about that, so I looked it up. It turns out that BCE - Before Common Era - has been in use since at least the 1600s. So its not some new PC thing (although PC types push its use today).
And I understand why many folks - and Jews in particular - prefer the BCE/CE method. AD = anno Domini = in the year of the Lord. Thats not something most Jews want to be associated with. No more than Id want to go with some method based on Mohammed.

. Wow! Jesus and mohammed are the same in your eyes. There you are. Own it.

That is my issue actually. BCE used to to have a benign pedigree. Now it tends to be an indication that you are dealing with PC fools.
Thanks LR.
