Side rant: Can we please not use mm to represent millions?

The Roman numeral M is often used to indicate one thousand, and MM is used to indicate one million.

That's right, numeral M it is. MM - million, however mm - millimeter.

being we are technical people, how about the SI? it's a well-defined system.

Ask Americans about SI :-)

Edited the title for clarity - thanks!
