I'm all for avoiding political correctness (political correctness is using pressure or manipulative terminology to get one to go along with some political view...presumably "correct") But when it comes to BCE and CE (Common Era) versus BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini, ie. In the Year of Our Lord) I think that it is BC and AD that are the politically correct views. Use of those terms are part of a very clear statement of religious or political belief. The use of CE or BCE is a move to use neutral language, that makes no statement of religion or politics either way. By avoiding provocative terminology one hopes that we can all get along better, whatever our religious or political views might be. So use of CE and BCE is a matter of good manners, and an attempt to *avoid* politically correct terminology.
