The mix of BCE and AD hurts my brain. It’s either BC/AD (before christ and anno domini) or BCE/CE (before common era and common era), depending on how religious or secular you are. Please do pedants like myself a favour and don’t mix 'em.

Don't forget AC, after christ. Which is what I use.

AC is before (Ante) christ in Latin and therefore in many historical records. I think you'll save yourself from confusion if you stopped using it to mean after christ ;)

If you're very religious you'll probably use AC/AD, but of you're very secular you're more likely into AC/DC

The dating feels like it might've originally been Han dynasty, which then got translated into exact years for those unfamiliar with Chinese dynasties.

I don't know why people insist on calling it "common" as if the entire world doesn't know it was before and after the christian era. It's like, oh yeah! Some noteworthy "holy" empires, crusades and inquistions also happened near that time that rocked human history in the West... over nothing in particular.

It's one thing to be secular, but another to just be ignorant from a historical standpoint.

It's like someone saw the cucumber eye things and decided to try it on their whole body, but with pickles.
