Where did that K in thousand come from after all, anyway? M for million makes sense. K for thousand doesn't.
Shorthand for kilo, recognisable if you use metric.
That makes perfect sense, I can't believe I didn't make that connection - and, yeah, I've definitely outed myself as an American. Fair enough.
