Get in the fucking watermelon Shinji

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.
- If you're very religious you'll probably use AC/AD, but of you're very secular you're more likely into AC/DC
- 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 ;)
- The dating feels like it might've originally been Han dynasty, which then got translated into exact years for those unfamiliar with Chinese dynasties.

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