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.

Oh yes, please stop that eternal useless bickering! 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.
