Notice that BCE / CE is starting to replace BC / AD for discussion of time

Tradition is being attacked in every corner.
quote:
In the United States, the usage of the BCE/CE notation in textbooks is growing.[47] Some publications have moved over to using it exclusively. For example, the 2007 World Almanac was the first edition to switch over to the BCE/CE usage, ending a 138-year usage of the traditional BC/AD dating notation. It is used by the College Board in its history tests,[54] and by the Norton Anthology of English Literature.

Since the 1990s.

I don't think "starting to" is the correct verbiage

I don't mind tradition being challenged for the right reasons.

If you reflexively oppose change, you’ll be right 90% of the time.

Metric system sucks

This is just one of those funny things to me because honestly, I completely don't give a frick yet, at the same time, there's a 99.9999999% change that anyone who is the type to MAKE SURE BCE/CE is used is a raging a-hole.

This is a 30 year old phenomenon.

Metric system didn't land man on the moon.

Infact the term was coined in 1708.

Did you happen to notice when BCE/CE begin and end?

Holy crap. That is a metaphor for how sanitized and meaningless all PC speak is. It offends no one, yet there is no common point with which anyone can identify. Leftists are truly rudderless.
