    "10,000 thousand" is definitely grammatically incorrect but probably more accurate to actually RMT costs.

    "10,000k" would be more grammatically correct, weirdly

    Or just put 10m like a sane person. Maybe 10,000k sounds more impressive to most people (esp. new players).

    It's because that's how the Chinese do large numbers and the botters can't be assed enough to change it to fit western norms.

    Yeah i dont get that. What do they call it? Ten thousand thousand? What's wrong with saying 10 million

    8 points A_small_Chicken

    Chinese doesn't use million. Ten thousand is the unit they base large numbers on.

    Additionally where in western counting we use thousand additions (think of milibyte -> byte -> kilobyte -> megabyte -> gigabyte -> terabyte... etc) the Chinese language does this is 10 thousand steps.

    I agree with others that the way to read this is 10,000 * 1,000 = 10,000,000

    parent root
    2 points PervertTentacle

    If you really think about it it's just saying number X number Y, the same as you say hundred thousand which is 100*1000

    It's not weird at all

    Always confuses me when bots say adverts is that ten thousand thousand so 100k?

    Like 10k thousand... why don't they just say like 100k lol

    parent
    5 points Favna

    10 mil. You read it as 10 * thousand * thousand or as numbers 10 * 1,000 * 1,000 = 10,000 * 1,000. Move the zeros which results in 10,000,000

    It's answered elsewhere in the post as well so I cannot take full credit but apparently it has to do with how the Chinese do their numbers. Where we westerners think in multiplication of 1000, Chinese don't pronounce anything larger than 10,000 and just ends up combining words at that point which is where the weird wording comes from.

    It is simple though, where we say

    1, 10, 100, 1k, 10k, 100k, 1m, 10m, 100m

    they just keep adding a zero instead of switching to m

    1, 10, 100, 1k, 10k, 100k, 1000k, 10000k, 100000k
