It's Tome of Lost Knowledge not Tome of Enlightenment. =) Btw, this guide is awesome. I'm glad someone finally came along and put it together for all the players attempting to make out the jargon on the trade boards.

Whoops! I didn't catch it, obviously; I passed right by it, and went, "hmm, Tome of Enlightenment, but no Tome of Lost Knowledge?!" So hence I posted TOLK as something to add. :p

K in maths and physics says 1000.

We have kilometers (Km) = 1000 meters.
KK just mean K*K = 1.000.000 (1,000,000)
Some ppl like to use 1M to mean 1kk or one million

Well, it *IS* the fact that "M" is more proper; you can look at it three ways; the most common is that "kilo" is a prefix to mean 1,000 of something, while "mega" is a prefix that means 1,000,000 of something; not commonly seen in metric measurements all that much, but of course, seen all the time in computing; this can be applied to anything that also uses "kilo."

Another is that "M" happens to be the roman numeral for the number 1,000,000. Lastly, "M" is the first letter of "million" so it could work even that way.

I would have to be awed by the sheer geekiness that the entire Demise community suddenly started portraying if they did that. :p

Pardon my ignorance, but what does ftw stand for? I have no idea, and it irks me, because I see it fairly often on these forums where I spend my free time.
