Bug#975026: Use 公元 not 西元
retitle 975026 Don't add "西元" to worldwide (2020) dates!
thanks
In fact I got a much better idea:
Chuck the whole 西元 totally!
Does
$ LC_ALL=C date
Thu Nov 19 13:11:20 CST 2020
add "A.D." etc.? No!
Anyway, it is up to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korean_calendar
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_China_calendar
usages to put special names on their years.
For everybody else, 2020 should just be 2020!
Just like

Actually that only uses 西元 once. But uses an _unadorned_ 2020 many times.
