Subject:"M" as thousand From:Mark Levinson <mark -at- SD -dot- CO -dot- IL> Date:Mon, 12 Dec 1994 10:04:54 IST
Anyway, I have yet to see M used as 1000 anywhere else.
** M begins the word for "thousand" in Romance languages, and of course
it's also the Roman numeral. I think it's used a lot by folks
in/from Europe.
