...it took me over a day to get your reference, cos "Nostra" means "ours" in Latin - e.g. "pater noster qui es in caelis" ("Our Father who art in Heaven") ... so I kept on thinking, "What does he mean by 'Our' Goktimus?!?"

As outlined in Post #1, once your count exceeds the current year, then you can switch from C.E. to B.C.E. Although I might do a combination of both - C.E. for upcoming (planned, scheduled or expected) events and B.C.E. for things that have already happened.
