Oppugnant onomatomania...


FFS! PC BBC BCE/CE or BC/AD? Boris got in a huff, over this puff, but there's enuff stuff to belie the hysterics; that said some presenters clearly are using the trendy meaningless BCE/CE and the website for BBC Religion and Ethics does seem to prefer the newer terms.. headed by Aaqil Ahmed;...surely Aaqil is not offended? And surely it makes no difference because according to most BBC news/political output that I've heard over the last few months time started in May 2010.

Seems a shame that the BBC are taking the flak on this because BCE/CE has been used in the school curriculum in the UK for the past ten years it's used in the States history exams and Australian schools and even the History channel.

I know! I've seen it all over the place; still meaningless though.
