Western Canada, we use a short form pronunciation similar "Kay" too (pronounced like just saying the letter "K"). "K" is short form thousands as well written and pronunciated "k". Ex: 20,000 = 20k. But when talking about distance specifying units, you say the thousands and "k" as in short form kilometers. 20,000km is pronounced: "twenty thousand k" or kilometers. But if not specifying the unit, you could say I drove twenty "k", as in "I drove 20 thousand (kilometers)"
