    Yes... and no.

    1. 1k = 1000 yes; although k is short for kilo-, however, you would never read it as "10 kilo gil". (-k is used with regards to 100- denominated currencies. For those with 1,000-denominations, there is no "-k" equivalent, but rather a different name entirely for the 1,000-piece. In the case of gil, there is no penny-to-dollar, pence-to-pound; it is more closely related to how the Japanese Yen is written. (See below).

    2. 1M (capital M) is for million, not mega, contrary to popular belief. Currencies do not follow metric rules.

    3. There is no Giga in currency, it goes Million/Billion/Trillion/Quadrillion, etc., so "1G Gil" basically does not exist. (See below).


    As a few side notes, just because I'm anal-retentive:

    1. There is/are no such things as "Gils". Gil is both singular and plural. Again, similar to the Japanese Yen, ¥200 is read as "two hundren Yen", whereas $2 would be read as "two Dollars" or €3 as "3 Euros". Note the lack of plural suffix for Yen.

    You would read/say: "Hundreds of Gil" not "hundreds of Gils" or "one hundred Gils."
    You could say: "a Gil's worth in Echo drops" (like "a penny's worth of salt" however notice where the apostrophe is; you would hear the person say "Gils" but grammatically it would not be "Gils."

    2. As far as FFXI is concerned, 1G is 1 Gil, as the capital letter "G" is the symbol for the currency itself. So when you say "1G Gil" you're actually saying "$1 Dollar", or "One dollar dollar."

    Not that I disagree, but where did they say "gils?"

    Yes, it is.

    Unlimited recording isn't, but then record it 10 minutes at a time, and then you can still use youtube.

    It's funny how even your explanation doesn't work for "k". This is the common system in science for expressing quantities that is being used here.

    1 MeV is one mega elcetron-volt.
    10 kV is 10000 volts.
    1 kM is one Kilo meter.
    1 kJ is one kilo Joule.
    1 GW is one giga watt.

    Player 1 "I can clear Nyzul Isle floor 100 with no cheats!"

    Player 2 "Really?"

    Player 1 "Of course I can! Me and my ls are just THAT GOOD. If you cant do it, well then you are lame and you have no idea how to play this game! Go play WoW loser. Oh did I also tell you I make 100m gil a day and bathe in all my gold each night! Im the best!"

    Player 2 "Well can you post a video of yourself doing it? It only take a single click to start fraps and I would love to see how you do it"

    Player 1 "NO"

    Player 2 "Why not?"

    Player 1 "Cause I don't wanna!"

    Player 2 "Hmmm well it seems you may be lying"

    Player 1 "Im NOT lying, how dare you even assume that I am lying! I am THE BEST EVER. So frak you and frak your mama too!"

    Player 2 "It was a simple request"

    Player 1 "You petty little man, how dare you ask me to prove that I win without cheats!"

    Player 2 "Cause it would take you 2 minutes and you would win the admiration of many as well as help tons of ppl who are trying to accomplish the same goal"

    Player 1 "Silly little man, I dont need your admiration or help you fools. I told you I AM THE BEST MWAHAHAHAHAHA"


    Simple conclusion to the story. Player 1 is full of it. They either havent completed floor 100 or only do it by cheating. Why argue with them, just let them live in their own delusions
