Do you guys think it might have helped if Dionysius Exiguus had left the Julian calendar as counting from the "founding" of Rome (ostensibly 753 BC/BCE)?

If that was the case, then this would be the year 2756 AUC.

Yeah, that happens to me, too. Last January, I was writing "2755" on everything.

Gotta hate it when you get stuck in the past like that during the first bits of the year.
