re: #66 May Day! May Day!

It doesn’t, though. Unlike “in the year of our Lord”, it has become secularized long ago.

I don’t know why you think that. If you think that the formal use of “in the year of our Lord” is any less secular than AD, I think you are fantasizing.

Kinda reminds me of the people arguing that the symbol denoting a date of death in encyclopedias is a dagger and not a cross, so it shouldn’t offend Muslims or Jews.
