I did a google search to find out how much i pay for water, the water department where I live bills by the MCF (1,000 cubic feet). The AI Overview told me an MCF was one million cubic feet. It's a unit of measurement. It's not subjective, not an opinion and AI still got it wrong.
Everywhere else in the world a big M means million.
I think in this case it's Roman numeral M
Americans really using ANYTHING but metric, huh?
The only thing that would make more sense would be if the bill was in cuneiform.

Shouldn't it be kcf? Or tcf if you're desperate to avoid standard prefixes?
I just think you need an abbrevations chart.
Yeah, that's an odd one. My city does water by the gallon, which is much more reasonable.
