Why do SAMP players say "kk" for million? - j7n - 31.10.2017
Why do many SAMP players use "kk" or a thousand thousands when they mean million? Normally I'd say "the house costs 7M" instead of "7kk". Is this specific to some languages, and would those speakers say kk in other contexts too?

@up most of gamers.
I live in Poland and almost every gamer uses the "kilo-notation".
1k = 1000
1kk = 1 000 000
1kkk = 1 000 000 000
1M is very rarely used. The reason? Maybe because the "kilo" is bound to "kilogram" which is one of the most popular units in All countries. Also there are differences between short notation and long notation so when writing 1kkk everybody knows exactly how much you meant to say.
In short notation a "billion" (10^9) is named like 10^12 (also billion) in long scale. Isn't it easier to write 1kkk?

I've never called millions "kk". What I always used, e.g 1k = 1000, 10k = 10000, 100k = 100000. When it reaches one million or more, it's always "x mil", not "kk".

PHP код:
public OnPlayerText(playerid, text)
{
if (!isnull(text))
{
new idx = 0;
while(text[idx] != '\0')
{
if(text[idx] == 'k' && text[idx+1] == 'k' || text[idx] == 'K' && text[idx+1] == 'K')
{
text[idx] = 'M';
text[idx+1] = ' ';
idx += 2;
}
}
}
return 0;
}

because they are too dumb to realize what does the word "kilo" in "kilogram" or "mega" in "megabyte" mean

The title said KK not KKK so you shouldn't think it by the title, either the title said "for million".
Conclusion, you are dumb or failed in trying to be funny.
Anyway in most cases I when see people's using KK it's not related to cash, I see people's using it a lot indeed.
But in most of this situations it does mean "OK OK", which is another way to say okay to other players.
In case of money amounts I see it in RP advertisement because it's using less characters this way.
Only the K of 1,000 I see a lot on servers, but never see KK or KKK used to describe a amount.

I think in the end it comes down to the economical environment you have on that specific game/server.

There's no such thing as "kk", so they're wrong.

They used to say that on my czech server, however our admins did a great effort during time educating them to use rather M instead - and successfully.

Re: Why do SAMP players say "kk" for million? - Mauzen - 31.10.2017
I prefer mixed roman numerals
10M = 10000
5X = 50
12DCIIX = 7296
94MMMCMXCIX = 375906
This is much more convenient and intuitive.
