How dare you!

 

I demand compensation for this affront.

Talk to my lawyer, or if you are in Finland, my lakimies.

Please explain why you're using "mm" to denote millions?

 

The "mm" makes you texts just frustrating to read.

MM brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like, it's better than yours
Damn right it's better than yours

I'm going to start using "VV" for quarters, since V is five, and 5 x 5 is 25.

 

Hundreds could be XX ! I.e., a mugging outside Wentworths in KR could start out with "Hand over all your double-X's!"

C is 100, like with centurion, an officer in charge of 100 soldiers, or century, 100 years. of 100 cents in a USD.

 

count to 3, then one down from 5, then 5.

 

I

II

III

IV

V

VI

...

 

XL (10 from 50 = 40)

L (50)

XLVII (10 from 50 and 5+2, 47)

XCI (91 - 10 from 100 and 1)

CDXCV (495 - 100 from 500, and (10 from 100) and 5)

And here I thought that was pretty low flying

No, no. We just changed it. Two M's are now a Million, not two thousands. We're multiplying them together. XL is now 50 x 10 or 500, XLVII is 10 x 50 x 5 x 1 x 1, or 2500, and so on. It's like New Math, except it's for money. We can call it the New Roman Monetization.
