M-nus

M-minus (M–) typically refers to the state or score just below a target or maximum value, often used in sports, assessments, or measurements. For example, if a perfect score is 100, M– might indicate a score of 99, showing someone is close but just short of the highest. It highlights a near-complete achievement or performance, emphasizing that while nearly reaching the goal, there’s a small gap remaining. The term helps to quantify how close someone or something is to reaching an optimal or expected standard.
