I assume this is regional... I work in accounting and finance in New Zealand (generally following ordinary Western/Commonwealth standards) and I've never heard of using M for thousands. If I used that I would confuse the hell out of everyone around me.

- qingcharles 11mo agoIn some areas M is mille as in the Latin/French/Italian word for thousand, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_per_mille https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_per_mille
