Hi, this is a small nit about your comment: You say "... $100MM+ ..." but how is that different than "... $100M+ ..." ? If it's not different, then why double the "M"? Thanks! (Perhaps it's just a typo.)
- dagw 13y agoDifferent areas have different conventions, leading to some confusion. Finance uses MM for a million, the physical sciences use M. In the the finance case 'M' comes from the Latin 'mille', meaning thousand, so MM means thousand thousand. In the sciences M means Mega (from the Greek meaning 'Great'), which is the SI prefix for 10^6
