A little off topic but it’s so annoying that they use CE instead of AD.

No kidding. It’s one of my pet-peeves...liberal humanists again trying to deny Christ’s influence on world history, by using fallacious “before the common era” & “common era” descriptors, that only work in English. Go to any other non-English speaking country, including post-Christian Europe, and they still retain the Christian reference. If they insist on CE and BCE, I’m going to refer to them as “Christian Era” and “Before the Christian Era”. Who do they think they’re going to fool, honestly?

Thanks, I keep forgetting if CE was BC or AD. Must be the metric of dating.
