The name of the site, "M Squared T", stems from a joke. Those with a math background will get it. Those that don't, well, hang on, you probably will, too!
Matt's initials are MMT. If one considers that M and T are real mathematical variables in the set "initials," then the expression MMT could also be expressed as
(M)(M)(T) M x M x T (M^2)(T)
Given that M2T is, in fact, the mathematically simplest form of expression for MMT, it is preferred. However, since this simplest expression is difficult to express on a single line of text without superscripts, parentheses are needed to designate which groupings of operators should be combined. Therefore, it behooves the writer to express M2T as M Squared T, eliminating potential confusion.
Moving on...
