1. BC and AD look too different to have related meanings
2. Latin is a fuck-ugly language that needs to disappear from academia ASAP
3. Not all historians on Earth believe in you 3 = 1 because ice cubes nonsense
4. Jesus wasn't born in 1 CE
5. Nothing prevents you from reading it as Christian Era; hell I've heard rabbis do that

Because the birth of Christ is not accurately dated, and the year isn't that of the Lord.
So why lie when you could avoid it ?

not really disagreeing overall but isn't it good that they look pretty different? seems easier to scan over and just immediately understand

Latin is a beautiful language that is what Esperanto tried to be. It would help unify Euro-American journals.

that's kinda my issue with the new system, it's hard to tell at a glance which one's being used. But I guess it'd be obvious from context

what exactly makes 1 CE the start of the "common era" then?

The fact that it is the start of the common calendar.
It's a convention, so we recognize it as such.

Except having to learn a new language (what's more, a language where you have to fucking conjugate nouns) to do science past 1 + 1 is a retarded idea only the catholic church has ever had.

I wish Latin had remained the language of prestige. Or German. Anything consistent that's actually a language and not a French colonial creole, basically

A painful and persistent problem of modern science is the difficulty of creating new terms. In this sense Latin (and German) are much more powerful

It’s not a secular calendar and refers to irrelevant events. Let’s use the formation of the U.N as year 1 instead.
