Just looking into the origins of the extremely rare female name Eunice.
This is the name of the super storm apparently battering the U.K. right now.( outside is actually a super bright sunny and calm morning).
Whilst reading the article I noticed that the dates referenced now State 63 or 68 with AD ( Anno Domini) and BC( Before Christ) absent.
May have been like this for ages, but wonder whether it’s part of the bigger removal of links to Christianity such as in the U.K. Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday becoming Pancake Day , Happy Holidays for Christmas and Easter Egg hunts being renamed Egg Chases.
Yes, I noticed this starting YEARS ago, probably around the 1970s or 80s. BC became BCE (before common era) and AD became CE (common era). It is not a new usage, but was mostly limited to academic and historical writing at first, brought to you by the usual suspects, "woke" academicians straight from the faculty lounge.
