The word "erase"
The latter is easily contradicted by a simple Google search. The former is unsupported by any evidence. [[User:John Brown|John Brown]] 00:15, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

== The word "erase" ==
Two of the more egregious sentences on this page, of which there are many, are the following:
*The term "Common Era" is an attempt to '''erase''' the historical basis for the primary calendar dating system in the Western world.
The idea that the use of different dating nomenclature is an attempt to somehow rewrite history is absurd. The concept of inter-faith dialogue has been discussed here at length, and I will not discuss it any further. Moving along:
*Numerous texts, '''particularly schoolbooks''', have replaced "B.C./A.D." with "Common Era" symbols over the past decade.
This claim is completely uncited. As an academic, I find it insulting.
