Anyway, MM is clearly man-month or 2 digit month of the year when you stringify a date... we don't need more.

- goldcd 8y agoSorry - I wasn't saying accountants "didn't do it" - just that "they shouldn't" My pedantic (and massively down-voted post I now notice) was just an expression of my annoyance at mixing syntax. I'd also have accepted "M" as "a million" and therefore MM being 1,000,000,000,000... but they didn't do that either..
