    The BBC has dropped the use of the terms Before Christ (BC) and Anno Domini (AD) on one of their programmes and decided that the terms ‘Before Common Era’ / ‘Common Era’ are more appropriate.

    Technically, ‘Before Common Era’ and ‘Common Era’ is a more accurate description of the date than ‘Before Christ’ and ‘Anno Domini’.
