Hi Quoc
My comments are in the quote in blue:

Dear teachers,
Normally, we write: 1000 BC or 76 AD.
1/Can I write as in follows? I'd say you should not use any of them.
a. BC 1000 or 1000 bc or bc 1000 or 1000 b.c. or b.c. 1000
b. AD 76 or 76 ad or ad 76 or 76 a.d. or a.d. 76
2/BC and BCE have the same meaning in:
1000 BC and 1000 BCE ?
AD and CE have the same meaning in:
76 CE and 76 CE ?
BC = BCE
AD = CE
But I'm not sure how widely BCE and CE are understood. My guess is that a lot of people have never heard of them before and therefore don't know what they mean.
3/Can I write as in follows? I wouldn't.
c.BCE 1000 or 1000 bce or bce 1000 or 1000 b.c.e. or b.c.e. 1000
d.CE 76 or 76 ce or ce 76 or 76 c.e. or c.e. 76 |
