Sometimes I think I like to stay in my bubble.
Aphra has run into a small problem at school. She is studying ancient Religions and Cultures, and their beginnings.
When I grew up the time line ran AD and BC and things were like that until we moved here. Now I am not sure if I am just simply showing my ignorance, since I have not been in a classroom for many, many years. well before Political Correctness took it's tight grip over society.
But now AD and BC are unacceptable in Aphra's classroom. It is BCE & CE(Before Common Era, and Common Era)
Now, I know these terms are not new, but are they now standard everywhere?

Been this way for about 15 years, common for the last ten I'd say...

I didn't know that they changed.
