Shouldn't the default be neutral (i.e. 'BC(E)' / 'BC|BCE' etc.)
anyway? There's not much of a choice there. Then again, if users have
a problem with the mere use of a 'BC' instead of 'BCE' when BC has
been widely accepted for so long, then so be it.

I have never seen the use of adding another E to BC and give it another
name
when in fact you count with the same year numbering. But if we can have
a technical solution so we can have both I'd go for it.

Perhaps I'm just pessimistic, but I'm sure there will be "bickering"
over
the default setting of any UI option we come up with. After all, the default
will determine what those who are not logged-in or who have not modified
their preferences will see.
