what do you think about the format: [scalar] [si-prefix] [unit]
- soneil 3y agoHonestly, I prefer it. But for one reason or another, MM is the accepted suffix when dealing with money (it comes from mille in latin meaning thousand, not million.)
- abwizz 3y agothx any idea how it came to prominence? i guess i has something to do with distancing the field from natural sciences.
- bruce343434 3y ago2 megadollars? Sure, it still beats what my reading voice calls "mumums"
- abwizz 3y agoyea, if we can have mebibytes on our home turf, we should be able to have megadollars in meatspace
