Re: Inadvertent Acknowledgement
Inadvertent means mistaken.
​
Dr. A is not mistaken.
​
He uses AD fully aware of its meaning.
​
You, on the other hand, inadvertently acknowledge Janus and Woden.
​
Unless, of course, you don't use the words January and Wednesday. Or March (aka Mars). Or any of the many other names that acknowledge ancient gods.

Re: Inadvertent Acknowledgement
Some secularists and pagans try to deny the calendar's historical relevance to Jesus.
​
We secularists acknowledge and accept the pagan/xian origins of a lot of things.
​
There's a difference between acceptance and historical relevance, as you've just admitted.
