Subject: [Freeciv-Dev] (PR#2591) Nondenominational calendar patch
From: "esr@xxxxxxxxxxx via RT" <rt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2002 15:59:27 -0800
Reply-to: rt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This patch makes all necessary changes to go fom BC/AD (Before
Christ/Anno Domini) to BCE/CE (Before Common Era/Common Era).  A good
thing unless we want to assume that all Freeciv's future users will
be Christians.

If you haven't encountered this usage before, that's because it's 
mostly an academic one.  Other educated native speakers of English 
recognize it but don't generate it spomtaneously.

My patches to the data files already use BCE/CE.
