...Except that it's not. It's just outright poor language. On other shards you won't even see "kk." Such as on all OSI shards. They say things like "M" or "mil" or "million."
It's a "convention" almost entirely unique to Demise
Wrong. In almost any shard i've played (brazilian or not), SEVERAL people would use KK instead of mil or million. Like it has been said, if KK makes no sense to you, using mil makes even less sense to us.
It may be academically not correct, but this is an online game, so why care this much?

Them just use "m;" I'd still consider it acceptable
Oh, if you would consider it ok, then we should do it rightaway!

If the Brazilians want to adopt this
Chinese-invented convention as part of their language, they're free to do so... Over in the
Portuguese-language section of the forums.
Now here i'll try to explain something to you that appearantly life still hasn't.
Only admins (read as leaders of a said community) should use that tone to enforce something over players (read as members of the said community).
This is not only a systematic rule, its basicly human common sense.
When you try to bypass that, you aren't changing anything, but simply taking the risk of modifying your image to the community that you are a part of.
Now, i believe that with most people here you are safe, since their opinion about you couldn't possibly go any lower, but try to be carefull with those who still, for some reason, respect you (kinda makes me wonder, since you have a serious problem with respecting anybody that is not over you on some hierachy or (god knows why) is your close friend)

It should be treated like any other languages; moderated if it appears in the English section, just like how forum bans are handed out for those that intentionally go and use English in the Portuguese and Chinese sections.
Being a pedant douche is one thing.
Now for someone who seems to have such a dedicaded will for learning and developing, this was probably the most pathetic and ignorant reply i've ever come to read from you (and believe me, there was a lot of them).
Bans are handed out to people who post in the Brazilian forums because, and
only because, they are in most times made by retarded kids, who have no sense whatsoever of speaking that language, and posts are usually made with offensive intents.
Brazilians being banned, even if speaking perfectly understandable english, just because they use a unit system that displeases you is a little way too much, don't you think?

I'm merely noting what the rules are. Seriously, if you wrote a thread entirely in Portuguese, it would either be closed or moved to the appropriate forum. If you included portions in Portuguese, you'd be asked to use English for it instead. (or Portuguese instead were you posting this in the Portuguese forums)
I won't write the same thing over again.
This quote was only a freebie to emphasize your ignorance.
When you become able to write and read portuguese like some of us do english, you are more than welcome to post in there.

What really confused me was when Nottheking flamed the PvPers in my guild
One of the scariest moments in the history of this shard, for sure.
The fact that he manages to be pedant even in a subject in which he has such little experience with is at least noteworthy.
