I think Roman numerals have been held over long enough. Time to move on. Bill

Maybe someone can explain to me why "m" in seeds means thousands?
And in my former corporate life k=thousand and m=million, usually dollars -
$5M=5million dollars
M is the Roman numeral for 1000 so it is a holdover and confusing
since no other Roman numerals are really used in quantity figures any
more.
Cheers,
