Hehe. It's lower-case m in English, too. The capital M makes it look like 1-1.40 moles (as in Avogadro's number of atoms). One mole of children by head count would be a LOT of kids, and one mole by atom count would be a VERY small child, certainly too small to go on the rides.
(Maybe I work with chemistry too much...)
Meters'! What a disappointment! Now that my offspring can be counted as an adult, I feel, increasingly, that children should be measure in "moles".
James,
Maybe you're right. You might consider backing off on the chemistry a little. I'm sorry to say that I missed international mole day (or should that be with capital letters') last October. Maybe I, too, need to back off on the esoteric stuff a little. But I think Mole Day has a greater importance than Groundhog Day...

It is the common way to measure height everywhere on Earth, with three exceptions: Myanmar, Liberia, and the United States. Good company indeed!
jaja, James. I thought that it's only common in Asian countries. Good to know.

1m - 1.40m = 1 metre to 1.4metres = 100cm - 140cm.

Good guess, Eddy. It is not a Spanish common abbreviation, and being metres, it should have been 1 m - 1.4 m, without capitals.

I see that Sherree lives in the enlightened country of Canada, so she likely understands the metric system, but for the Americans and others still living in the Middle Ages, this equates to a height range of 39 to 55 inches.
Yes, you get this on fun parks, as it is the height that counts, not so much the age as to which attractions the children can manage.

I think it is referring to their height and not age, from 1 metre to 1.4 metres.
