So are you saying I was right? :). Anyway, I think K for a thousand might pertain to computers...We do know that computers and computer lingo rewrote large parts of the American lingo.

I haven't got a clue where 'k' for a thousand came from...
MM is either 2 thousand or a chocolate treat...LOL...
I don't even think k is from metric either- millimeter, centimeter,  etc.-
no 'k' meter....
my other graphic associates (paper printers, publishers, etc.) all
use M for thousand, same with ad specialty pricing.
Anyone know where the 'k' for thousand came from?
