"He said he absolutely refuses to use CE and BCE"

As do I. I think a freeper once posted that if in a position where someone was forced to use it, to think of it as "Christian Era" and "Before Christian Era." :)

When I first saw BCE and CE I read it without thinking as Before Christian Era and Christian Era. I thought it was just
the academic writer in Biblical Archaeology Review getting fancy with the terms. When I found out it was supposed to be Common Era it just seemed contrived and petty.
