Is it common in the US to weigh vehicles in kilo-pounds, or is that just because it sounds more impressive in this instance? I would have expected people to describe it as a 3.5 ton vehicle.
- pacificmint 3y agoIt would be common to say 7000 pounds. It’s less common in everyday usage to say 7k pounds.
- bloody-crow 3y agoI wouldn't say so. In speech people just say "seven thousand ponds" or "seventy one hundred pounds". Using "k" as a substitute for "thousand" is more of an internet written communication artifact that is rarely used offline.
