I prefer BCE and CE -- before common era and common era.
What it is: AD... 1450 AD... It's the Latin "In the Year of our Lord" thing.

AD, as in 2007 AD. Anno Domini - year of the Lord (birth year of Christ was supposed to be 1 AD. May have been earlier.

Yes. It's Latin for "In the year of Our Lord". It's where we get the term "AD" from when speaking about historical events. If a particular date is followed by AD, then it happened after Christ's birth. But most people say "CE" now, rather than AD.

Latin term meaning 'in the year of Our Lord', that is to say, x years after the supposed birth of Jesus Christ. The modern and preferred term is CE, or Common Era.

I don't believe in the claptrap, but we use it as a date ... It is Latin for, In the year of our Lord, of the Christian era.. When I was at school we also referred to it as, After the Death ( AD) and (BC) was of course, before Christ.. BB....)O(

Yes. This word stands for AD. (Like in AD 2000)

It's Latin, long form of AD in terms of time. It is currently 2007 AD.

After the Son?

Wouldn't it be "Year (dative) of the Lord", since English articles are implied in Latin nouns, but not possessives?
