:I added the "currently" modifier because time was counted before Seleucar Fell, and thus AF wouldn't make sense as time's unit at that point.  I capitalised after and fall in "After the Fall" to emphasize where the abbreviations came from, but feel free to change if you wish. Regarding BF, I have never heard of that personally, but if that has true usage in canon, then the "currently" modifier is all the more appropriate. [[User:Asara|Asara]] 21:36, 8 May 2008 (GMT)

::Ok, I guess your first comment makes sense. But in regards to "BF", that's something we use now, too (so it doesn't make "currently" more appropriate), not something used before the actual fall (for reasons I'm sure you can figure out). I guess the real issue is whether (and how) the years were kept track of before the fall. --[[User:Slurpz|Slurpz]] 00:59, 9 May 2008 (GMT)

:::Now that would be interesting! I still don't understand your use of "currently", unfortunately - I think we're going a bit too far on it. By "currently", our current (as in, right now, the present time) method of dating uses AF, period, so whether or not we still reference BF dates does not undermine our years as being AF. Does that make sense? [[User:Asara|Asara]] 02:09, 9 May 2008 (GMT)
