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.

Yeah, shouldn't that be Kcf, Kilo cubic foot?

Kilo is a small k as there wasn't a person named that.
