      As the other comment says, 1000 is often shortened to 1k, not just in America. It comes from the Greek kilo (meaning thousand), represented by kappa, which far predates the Metric system that borrowed it later.

    If I hurled an 1100-pound object indiscriminately into the air, the government would hunt me down and put me in jail for years.

    But nothing will happen to the government or corporation responsible for this.
