You're right it's usage came about long for politically correct times. For those unconfortable with it just interpret it to mean "before Christian era" instead of "before common era" and as for C.E.--interpret it as "Christian era."

There are many rivers called Avon all over the UK, as the literal meaning of Avon is simply 'river' (so 'River Avon' is strictly speaking tautologous). The pronunciation depends entirely on the prevailing vowel sounds of the dialect in that part of the country. In the Scottish Highlands, for instance, it sounds more like 'Aahn', with the 'v' silent.

Please add me to your list, too. Thanks!

... Thanks for that explanation. It occured to me after I posed the question that that might be the case.
...We certainly have our share of variations in pronunciation and dialect in the U.S.

Charcoal deposits that might date back between 250,000 and 300,000 years ago, were discovered in Harnham, a village one mile south of Salisbury on South Wiltshire's Chalklands, England. ... Excavation also uncovered animal bones, such as horse bones, and 44 "very rare" flint hand axes the earliest form of tool used by man.
Flint occurs as "nodules" within chalk deposits. Flint was eventually traded but at this very early date perhaps only those who lived right on top of the chalk were able to make flint tools.

You would wonder why if they are worried about offending people, wouldn't they be afraid of offending Christ?
