I've always hated the semi-dishonesty of academia's switch from BC and AD to BCE and CE.

"It is ethno and religio centrism to use Jesus Christ as the dividing line. So we'll just change the name and continue using the same dividing line. Also, I"m allergic to peanuts so I'm going to start calling them peaches so I won't get sick when I eat them."

They didn't even take the opportunity to correctly affix the dividing line so that 0 A.D. would equal 4 C.E. They deinstitutionalized the naming of Christ and firmly institutionalized the significance of Christ.
