It's the Christian calendar relabled.

It's the Christian Calender that they are attempting to call something else because they *HATE* that Christianity is the foundation of our dating system.

Nobody pays attention to "common era" crap. It is more or less universally still "A.D."

I wish you were right, but "CE" is now the official term in academia and the media and government. I would not be surprised if textbook publishers would refuse to use the term "AD" even if it was used in the original manuscript.
