eh… not quite
it actually stands for “Anno Domini”, which is latin, but means “in the year of the lord”
I don’t see why not. 5 digits isn’t too bad, and the issue wouldn’t come up again for another 90,000 years after that. Besides, we’ll probably extinct ourselves through climate change, nuclear war, and/or AI long before then anyways.
