RE: once or twice...

["Tariel, Lauren R" <lt34 -at- saclink -dot- csus -dot- edu>]

I haven't seen the variants "1ce" and "2ce" before.  But "1ce" looks like a misspelling of "Ice" and "2ce" or rather "2c-e" is psychedelic drug, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2C-E.  I imagine that both terms should be avoided.  
 
I did see "1ce" used to represent "once" in a book title, http://www.bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf/1ce-Upon-A-Time.
 
Now in discussing years, "1 CE" and "2 CE" are both correct, since "CE" refers to "Common Era" and supplants "AD" and its religious connotations.
