I'm going to highjack this thread for a second. Do you guys interpret a "M" as millions or thousands? Several individuals in my company use the single "M" for thousands, and the double "MM" to represent millions.
They're correct.
Meh, depends on the field and the item being quantified. Forbes has plenty of articles using $--M to represent millions and The Economist uses $--m.
"M" can be millions, but "MM" will always be understood to mean millions, so if there isn't much context it is probably the better default to use.
