BC vs BCE

*sigh* "BC" and "AD" aren't POV; I'm not even a Christian! They're commonly used for purely practical reasons. Use "BCE" if you really want, but I find it silly... Aridd 20:15, 23 November 2006 (GMT)

Technical note

The second century didn't begin until 101 A.D., the third 201, the fourth 301, and so on. Similarly the twenty-first century didn't really begin in 2000, but 2001. Why? Because there was no year 0. 100 years after Year 1 is 101. 70.181.174.233 15:58, 23 October 2007 (GMT)
