BCE/CE? (2006)

Is there a reason this abbreviation is being used rather than the BC/AD used in actual Traveller products that feature Terran dates?19:15, 15 March 2006 (UTC)


BC/AD is a religious nomenclature that should not be used in modern cross-cultural exchanges. We don't want to alienate users to the wiki. Most dates are Imperial in any case. 19:45, 15 March 2006 (UTC)~

I feel alienated by the use of BCE/CE.23:58, 17 March 2006 (UTC)


If you don't like it, change it. Just make sure you get the pre/postfix correct. Dcorrin 14:17, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I see that JasonBP changed the dates to AD/BC, but for some reason didn't move the AD to prefix notation, which I have now gone and corrected. It is AD 2006, ie. In the year of our Lord, 2006. See Wikipedia:Anno Domini. Dcorrin 20:13, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry - I never realized that the standard convention with AD was to use it as a prefix. You learn something new every day I suppose.JasonBP 23:10, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
