Talk:ante era vulgaris

RFV discussion: February–May 2018
Rationale: By the way: "before the common aera" would properly literally be *"ante aeram vulgarem".
 * era is English, while in Latin means "" and "era" is  (German ). Old New Latin as well as Medieval Latin might have era meaning "" too but than a label would be missing.
 * as praeposition governs accusative. While era could be a neuter plural or 3rd declension singular, vulgaris is nominative or genitive. That is, "ante era vulgaris" does not translate literally to "before the common era" and at best gives "before the era of the common" where a noun should be added to make sense of the adjective common.

By the way: Another search brought up a mentioning of "A. Æ. V." = "anno aerae vulgaris" (in the year of the common era). -84.161.43.2 07:38, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * GB search for "ante era vulgaris" only brought up two Latin results (title with ... Acta Sanctorum ...), but they had "[...] ante Aerae vulgaris [...]".
 * This is indeed incorrect in multiple ways and does not seem citable (per Google Books). Ante aeram vulgarem on the other hand has a fair number of Google Books hits. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 03:43, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
