              M is a faceless bureaucrat who answers to her political paymasters. She does not do the things that she asks of her agents, and is replaceable.

                I know. I was simply giving options :) Little m is metres. Or mediaeval. Or medium. Or meter. Or male. Or married. Or mass. Or minute. Or modulus. Lots of things can be expressed by an m.

                                        Big M is Miles. Or Mach. Or Majesty. Or Messier. Or Motorway. Or Thousand. Or Malta. Or Month. There are many things that M means.

                                        Miles usually gets a little m when abbreviated, for example on motorway warning boards or railway distances (53m 11ch).
