Teacher: When you see the letters "BC" at the end of a year, what does that tell you?
Student: It stands for "Before Christ," so you know that it was a year before Jesus was born.
Teacher: Good. And about when we see "AD?"
Student #2: It means it is a year after Jesus was born.
Teacher: Right!
Student #3: I know why they didn't use "AC."
Teacher: You do? Why is that?
Student #3: Because AC is air-conditioning. (laughing) It wouldn't make sense to say '1410 air-conditioning.'
