                      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?

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

                        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

                                          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?

                                          Nope I understand that perfectly, hence my post was correct as 20k = 20,000, just twisting yer tails a little lol. Ya'll went for it too like I was CMK or something. Of all the things to bitch about torbs, got something against the letter "K"? Ok improper use of anything is annoying, but you still understand what they mean do you not? Better yet take it upon yourself to flame on and correct them and make yourself look smarter, isn't that what the internet is for? Well that and porn.
