What's that weird unit MM? What I could find is an incorrect (multiplied not added) use of the roman 1000 used for money-millions. That would be pretty cheap in this context.
Maybe its something like Mega-huMans?
- AlotOfReading 5y agoIt's a semi-common generic Millions indicator, not specific to finance. I prefer to just use "m" instead.
- robonerd 5y agoM is the Roman numeral for a thousand. MM should be two-thousand, but has come to mean 'a thousand thousands' e.g. a million.
- john_courtland 5y agoThink Millipede, where Milli is 1,000. Milli Milli = MM = 1,000 * 1,000. > MM ("thousand thousands", from Latin "Mille" ...) from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%2C000%2C000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%2C000%2C000
- mjw1007 5y agoRepeating a letter indicating an abbreviated word is an oldfashioned way of pluralising it. For example, 'pp' to represent 'pages'.
- yesenadam 5y agoI believe it's from latin, and is not so old-fashioned in the many countries it's (still) used! e.g. in spanish, USA is EEUU (Estados Unidos)
