I know it will sound strange, but in Greek there's no c.e./b.c.e. In order to express the year, someone has to use a.d./b.c. There is no other way, and if there is, it is so rare, that I have never come across it.
The first time I read "c.e." in english, I had to google it to understand what it means.. And even then it felt strange. So, reading the {bov motlh}, there is no way I would understand the intented meaning.
CE and BCE have come into popular use in the last half-century or so in English as a way to take the religion out of a dating system that uses a religious epoch. They still /use/ the religious epoch; they just don't admit it. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
