Those that use the letter K

[torbs]

My car has 150,000K miles
I would like 500K for my non running DSM
My Honda has 150,000,000K miles then it finally broke

Know what I'm talking about?

Damn the letter K! Ugh!!!

[Bassplayer]

It's like using ft. for feet or L for liter. It makes my life and your life easier.... I don't get it

You serious?

I know what you're talking about Torbs. People that put like "oh, my car has 200,000K miles." No. Your car has 200,000 miles. Not 200,000,000 miles.

I think people should start using other SI prefixes to just confuse these dumb people.

"My car has about 0.16M miles"

Or when the store has bananas on sale for .99¢ Well I'll take em all if you put it that way.

But typing 20k is easier than 20,000 less keys to push.

Holy crap...are you and Cobra Rob related? Or have the same handicap?

Do you even know what 'K' stands for? Do you understand that by saying 2K you mean 2,000. When you say 2,000K you are saying 2,000,000. Jesus, need anything else explained to you?

[HiImBrian]

Maybe I'm not catching his mistake either here. 20k is in fact 20,000.

and btw capitj, you're right for using a lower case "k" as well. No need for capitalization here!

What everyone is saying is that using 20k is perfectly ok when referencing 20,000 .....typing 20,000k is completely idiotic unless you meant 20,000,000
