BC vs BCE ?

I grew up using BC and AD, meaning "Before Christ" and "After Death," or "Anno Domini," latin for "the year of our Lord." Apparently this has been a problem for non-Christians, and in an effort to be PC, "BC" has become "BCE," and "AD" had become "CE." "BCE" stands for "Before Common Era," or "Before Christian Era," or sometimes it is even "Before Current Era." What happens in 4000 years? Will "Before Current Era" still makes sense? Doubtful. It is more common to use "Before Common Era" or "Before Christian Era." "CE" of course means "Common Era" or "Christian Era."


BC => BCE

AD => CE
