And they could’ve just said “BC” stands for “before the common era.” Fuck it, why not? And make up some other meaning for AD, so we can just hand-wave a non-problem.
This is the date system we use. We’re not switching. It’s rooted in a religiously-venerated dead guy. Get over it. It’s not even accurate to that specific guy. They already fudged it all over the place a thousand years ago.
curious what reference they use for year 0.
any theories?

Such a stupid system. AD and BC are the same amount of letters. CE and BCE don’t line up when written. Drives me crazy!
I believe it’s used in the scientific community to avoid the religion. I’m not sure in what way it needs to line up when written.
