All these replies are from devs and the like who aren't used to how everyone else uses this notation. Everyone in the business world uses MM, it just looks weird because you're not used to it. Different industries use different notations.
If you came to my workplace and used a single 'M' everyone would have the same response here but inverted - how using a single M makes no sense and is inaccurate.
I work in advertising where "CPM" is a common metric (cost per milli). So using a single M still means thousand, will MM means million.
- UI_at_80x24 8y agohaha, I completely agree with what you said and I know it was industry-specific term. But despite knowing that, and _STILL_ knowing it meant "$22Million" I still argue with my brain when a little voice says "Mega Millions?" I was hoping I wasn't the only one, and happy to see a vigorous conversation start because of it. (I inherit Karma in a MLM feedback-loop right?) >I work in advertising where "CPM" is a common metric (cost per milli). That's just silly, _everybody_ knows it stands for cents-per-mile, and how truck drivers are paid. (jk)
