even worse, do you remember when 'uF' was written 'MMF' ? Husker Du: "do you remember" For some odd reason, financial people use 'M' to indicate thousands, as in, "It was a $10MM account," meaning ten million dollars. I first saw this when working at a money-management firm whilst in college. When I first saw this, I asked, "how can we have a client with ten trillion dollars in assets?" The boss looked at me funny until I explained that in engineering, capital 'M' means Mega, as in one million. "Well, that's the way we do it here." Mobsters use 'G' or 'large' to indicate thousand. <Accent=Jersey>"Hey, Tony, we gotta deal heah where we gets ten Gs for knockin' ovah dat joint. Your cut is two large. Take the cannolli. Leave the gun." -a |
