>Are you using kkk as a unit prefix for billion? I've never seen that before.

afaik it's pretty common within gaming communities

e.g

1k - 1 000 (of gold)

1kk - 1 000 000 (of gold)

1kkk - 1 000 000 000 (of gold)

>I can't say I would recommend the practice.

Oh, I just realized that somebody may think about other kkk...

damn, but with number in front of it it's just like yet another unit - I guess?

Not in any of the games I’ve played.

Why not use use m for million and b for billion? That’s the standard that everyone understands.

Ah okay.

> Oh, I just realized that somebody may think about other kkk...

Well more just because (I thought) it is unusual it'd be hard to understand in a context where you hadn't made it obvious. Maybe I'm just out of touch!
