    It’s not shorthand for thousand, it IS thousand.

    kk=M -> 10^3*10^3=10^6  
    kM=G -> 10^3*10^6=10^9  
    kkk=G= "a billion" 
    

    MATH IS WITH ME, BILLIONAIRES ARE MEMBERS OF THE kkk!!!

      That’s what I love about unit prefixes. They’re just numbers!

      Like, how many m³ is 1 km³?

      1 km³ = 1 (km)³ = 1 k³m³ = 1 G(m³) = 1,000,000,000 m³.
