CE stands for "Common Era" and has come to replace AD so as not to upset people who are not Christian. BCE stands for "Before Common Era" and replaces BC.

I can't resist asking why "Common Era"? Where does the "common" come from? This is bizarre.

Huh. Learn something new every day. I was wondering if it was "Callander Edwardian," but then, don't we use the Gregorian Callander? My brain hurts.

"Anno Domini" I understand. Vah! Denuone Latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur. (Oh! Was I speaking Latin again? Silly me. Sometimes it just sort of slips out.)

I always read it as "Christian Era" and "Before Christian Era" just to take the PC out of it.
