BC = Before Christ

BCE = Before Common Era

- -

First; The BCE is obviously intended to replace BC with a Non-Religious Connotation, but retain sufficient Familiarity so as not to confuse The Lay Reader ( Too Much ).

i hate it.

It’s an Evil Compromise.

The Second Point is : What is meant by Common Era ?

It seems like that would either mean; After The Time of Christ, or After The Current Calendar was Created, which was at The Time of Christ, or it means whenever ‘Now’ is.

( ? )

i would like To Propose a New Term: BE, Written as ]BE[.

Before Electricity.

Essentially; Before The Commercialization of light Bulbs.

So that The Italian Renessance would no longer be confusingly referred to as The 1400s or The 15th Century,

But as; 400 ]BE[.
