If the "Common Era" is defined and commonly understood to be the same as Anno Domini, and BCE the same as BC... wouldn't it make sense just to skip the extra letter (and avoid lengthy big brained explanations)? Or are you trying some sort of slow departure from the Gregorian calendar altogether? Not only is it a little sacrilege to deliberately avoid giving a nod to the Catholic/Christian origins of all Western timekeeping, but it's also just less efficient - not just in using the extra letter, but in coming up with some excuse as to why you're calling a rose by another name.
"A nice bouquet of stinkpetals!"
"Stinkpetals? You mean roses?"
"I was poked by a rosebush once, so now I call them 'stinkpetals.'"
"But... it's still a rose right?"
"YOU might call it a rose, but I, with my mighty, speed limit surpassing IQ, call them something different!"
"K."
Just because your brain has a higher gravitational field than most doesn't necessarily mean you're a galaxy brain. You might just be dense and self absorbed... like a black hole.
