I didn't know reputation was measured in millimeters.
- pestaa 9y agoCould be the amount of ink required to print out the actual number.
- smt88 9y agomm is a less common abbreviation for "million," but it does appear often in the US in finance and accounting
- lucb1e 9y agoI don't get this either, it's not as if there are two "m"s in the word million. I must be spelling it wrong.
- nsgoetz 9y agoI believe it come from mille - Latin for 1000. So 1mm is one mille mille or one thousand thousand. Why we use the Latin? I have no idea.

It’s also used by finance-outsiders who want to look like they are finance-insiders, a bit like how people will casually write GOOG and AMZN instead of Google and Amazon.
