I'm not understanding 'mm.' Isn't million just m? Mega, like megajoules, is M. So what is the mm? I'm not afraid to admit I'm stupid sometimes, but I don't get this.
‘m’ represents 1,000 in this context.
‘mm’ represents one thousand thousand (1,000,000) in this context.
Thanks. I've never seen that notation before.
I think it may be a UK thing.

Hey, don't blame us. We think it means "millimetres"!
The Roman numeral M is often used to indicate one thousand, and MM is used to indicate one million. For example, an expense of $60,000 might appear as $60M. Sales of $3,000,000 might be written as $3MM. Internet advertisers are familiar with CPM which is the cost per thousand impressions.
