Mr Israel:

A.C.E. = after the common era

Respectfully, the people correcting you are correct. You mean “CE” — the common era is not over, and therefore “After Common Era” has no meaning. The present year is 2011 C.E. Claudius was emperor from 41 CE to 54 CE, or 41 AD to 54 AD, depending on the fashion — “Common Era” is just a secular equivalent to “Anno Domini”.

I think A.C.E is Ante Common Era, Ante means Before so it is the same as B.C.E which in turn is no different from B.C.

I learned in med school that stuttering may be related to the fact that (especially in “the old days”), children were all forced to write using their right hand. Some children who were actually left-handed developed stutters after this change was forced upon them.
