"Currently" makes it sound as if we haven't always used "AF" or that it won't always be "AF". I don't think "after the fall" is supposed to be capitalised. Also, isn't "BF" used for "before the fall"? --[[User:Slurpz|Slurpz]] 19:16, 8 May 2008 (GMT)

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.
