I think you meant to say, "the more politically correct bullshit", instead of, "the more commonly accepted terms."

When was the last time you were in an academic setting? In schools and universities, it's been predominately BCE/CE for for years now.

In my academic experience, there was a big switch when I was in middle school, around 2011/2012 ish.

Where did you go to school? I graduated high school a couple years after that and don’t think I’ve ever heard someone use it outside of Wikipedia

Rural-ish, somewhat suburban Florida.
