Unrelated question why do you put "MM" instead of "M" I've seen this before but don't know why it's done like that.

- tptacek 18y agoI don't know, I cargo-culted it from the m-team types in my last couple companies. ;)
- pg 18y agoProbably because M is already an abbreviation for thousand, e.g. CPM.
- tptacek 18y agoThat's true, but the AP Stylebook says $...M means million; I too have only seen this used among the MBA types.
- FlorinAndrei 18y agoM&Ms. They were working for "peanuts".
- bobbyi 18y agoIt's because M is the roman numeral for a thousand and a million is a thousand thousand. (Although it wouldn't actually be expressed that way with the real roman numeral system; MM would be two thousand).
