re: #70 Kosh’s Shadow

OK. Maybe then, it should stand for “Christian Era”, because that is what the dates are based on. It wouldn’t bother me, because it is an accurate term, but it would piss off Muslims.

C.E and B.C.E has been around from the 1600’s. There is nothing new about it, it is used in scholarly works and journals, thesis and so forth, it has only recently been rooted to “to solve a cultural insensitivity problem.”

It’s been use way before anyone cared about being PC. I’ve seen it in my archeology books for over 40 years.
