Actually, I believe what you want is 3mm, which I believe they use in accounting. Lowercase m in this instance would stand for milli-, as in thousand. So 3mm would be 3 thousand thousand. 3M is technically correct, though confusing in this specific case. Capital M would indicate Mega, as in the progression from kilobit to megabit to gigabit.

- lowbloodsugar 2y ago3MM is three million, for US accountants and thus engineers writing docs for VPs. 3mm is three millimeters.

- kukkamario 2y agoEh... Haven't seen anyone using 3kk to abbreviate 3M. 3M is common and B for billion. Those are also used in many games to shorten currencies.
- toss1 2y agoInteresting, I'd seen it as "MM", as in "Thousand Thousand" in Roman numerals. Of course lowercase "mm" is most recognizable as millimeter, so that would be confusing in a different way.
