This somewhat misses the point of my comment, tough. The post was written in English, so one should stick to how English represents millions.
Based on that, I can say `1.000.000` is equal to MM because Brazil uses `.` to separate groups of 3 digits, and `,` to separate integer and decimal parts.
My point is to stick to using the units the language you're writing on uses.
Btw, thanks for explaining the origin of MM! I definitely didn't know that.
- CryptoBanker 2y agomm as an abbreviation is still the standard in finance, so still very relevant in English
- sulandor 2y agoengineers tend to interpret it as million * million = terra 10^6 * 10^6 = 10^12 because the suffix m or M is associated with million or 10^6 in the international system of units.
