if you are takling AD, anos dei, year of our lord, as in 2003, it is denoted as AD 2003. If talking BC, before Christ, it would be like 15,000 BC ------------- Just shoot yourself and save me the trouble. click the pic! http://mypaintballpics.mypicgallery.com/mpg/Route.asp">

Anno Domini (Latin for "In the Year of the Lord"), or more completely Anni Domini Nostri Jesu Christi (The Years of Our Lord Jesus Christ), commonly abbreviated AD, refers to the conventional numbering of years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. It defines an epoch based on the traditionally reckoned year of the birth of Jesus. Years before the epoch were denoted a.C.n. (for Ante Christum Natum, Latin for "before the birth of Christ"), although BC (Before Christ) is now usually used in English. The Anno Domini era is the only system in everyday use in the Western hemisphere, and the main system for commercial and scientific use in the rest of the world. Some non-Christians or secular persons, however, object to a system based upon an event in the Christian faith; for this reason, the same epoch is also referred to as the Common Era, abbreviated CE.
While it is increasingly common to place AD after a date, by analogy to the use of BC, formal English usage adheres to the traditional practice of placing the abbreviation before the year, as in Latin (e.g., 5 BC, but AD 3). ------------- -Chairborne Ranger- A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any other human invention in history... ...with the possible exception of handguns and tequila. |

| I was tought that B.C isn't supposed to be used anymore, its supposed to be B.C.E - Before Common Era...or something like that because not all people beleive that Christ exists. |
