What does AD and BC stand for

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-10-13] [Hit: ]
-Anno Domini (abbreviated as AD or A.D.) and Before Christ (abbreviated as BC or B.C.) are designations used to label or number years used with the Julian and Gregorian calendars.Although usually used in schools Ive heard recent news of some colleges and schools wanting their students to rather use BCE (Before Common Era) not sure what their modernized AD is though.......
BC stands for Before Christ
AD stands for Anno Domini, which is Latin for "year of our Lord"

Though, scientist have changed the names to:
BCE- Before Current Era
ACE- After Current Era


Apparently not many people understand that it can't be After Death.
What would the 33 years of his life be called.
Come on people, use your brains.
