Funny because it’s true!
Laura Ingraham shared this photo of a test paper on which a student refused to use the PC-preferred “B.C.E.” Evidently the standard usage “B.C.” is a big ol’ no-no these days.

@IngrahamAngle @Gordon_cooke Awesome! It's great to see good kids stand up to the nonsense. You've done some great parenting, too!

Even The Associated Press Stylebook notes that B.C. is “acceptable in all references to a calendar year in the period before Christ.” How long until “B.C.” goes the way of “illegal immigrant“?
