I believe BCE stands for *before common era*. AD stands for anno domini which is Latin for after death. I think.

After the year of Our Lord

Yes, BCE is "Before the Common Era" but AD is Latin for "Year of the Lord." However, that has been PC-ed to CE, "Common Era."

In order to be politically correct, historians have changed B.C. to "Before Calendars" or to "B.C.E." Before Calendars Existed (or as you say, "Before Common Era"). They've also bastardized A.D. (Anno Domino-After our Lord) to something else, but I don't remember what it is. Do you know what it is? As soon as I hear any narrator use these politically correct tags, I change the channel.
