What if BCE and CE are offensive to someone? That person's opposition is just as valid. Besides, changing from B.C. and A.D., which have been commonly used for centuries, simply for "wokeness" is hardly a sufficient reason. When you mention other calendar systems, consider that had those cultures made more of an impact on scholarship and history as that using the B.C. and A.D., I dare say we would be using one of those. When you mention that the calendar we use is inaccurate with regard to the Christ's birth, the exact year is unimportant and irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. To think of it, a seven-year error in the span of two-thousand years is a pretty small one, in my opinion.
