Do you ever wonder whether 'AD' feels like it got a really shitty deal with this whole woke '(Before) Common Era' bullshit?
BC gets to stay pretty much the same, and everyone knows what it means even if they don't.
But AD went from being the cool kid Year of the Mutherfuckin Lord, suckers, in Biggus Dickus Maximus alpha (OK, that's Greek) male Latin, not to mention Judge Dredd's personal organ, to being this crappy 'common era'.
Tough break.
