Has anyone noted how BC and AD have changed to
BCE and ADE; before the common era and after the common era.

I have noticed this on PBS documentaries, History channel, and Discovery channel.

This is all just a move to criminalize thought.

Yes, the college level text I use for a Humanities course I teach has that demarcation ... I tell the students to ignore it because it is silly, but all the new texts are sadly swinging in that direction. &;-)

I've noticed it and it p!$$es me off, too. But how do you get "after common era" from the initials ADE? Where's the "D?"
