I tend to bypass any entirely that uses the idiotic BCE date differentiation. The time may come when it is unavoidable given the PC madness that is enslaving the planet but we arent there yet.
Apparently you don't.

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.

I simply read “BCE” as : Before Christian Era, and move right along.
