It has exactly the meaning they want it to, it’s a common calendaring system you can use to bridge multiple cultures that don’t use the same system. It’s not like this is a new invention, CE has been around for 400 years.

“It has exactly the meaning they want it to...’

I say Spanish speaking people should drop the name Domingo for Sunday, since that means the Lord’s Day, so as not to offend others who don’t go to service on Sundays. They should call it Common Day. It has exactly the meaning I want it to.

What’s that? Oh yeah, Common and Day are both English words. They won’t span different cultures with different languages. Oy vey, now what do I do?
