minus-square@jeffwMlink1•edit-23 hours agoI have literally never seen k used in percentages before. Km is common, as is using it if you’re writing out LARGE numerical values (10k or above). I’m not saying it’s difficult to understand. I’m saying it looks stupid.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•3 hours agoAlright. And you felt the need to express that you thought it looked stupid to a person saying the meaning was clear to them, so they weren’t upset? Do you get why someone might think the meaning wasn’t clear? If it was your first time seeing the prefix used that way, and the meaning was immediately clear despite not being your style, why do you care?
