    No, Anno Domini is just an anachronism only Mackeral Snappers use. Real modern historians use CE for greater accuracy.

    Mott, let me tell you something Buddhists use the birth of Buddha as year zero for their calendar, currently it's the year 2563. In Islam it's the year 1422, nobody would dare tell them to change.

    We might as well declare that, under the BCE and CE standard, this year is 202 CE. That's how long it's been since the birth of the establishment's lord and savior.
