Screw off telling people there's something wrong with using 10k km.

Yeah, it's not even a double prefix like the article implies. It's 10 with a suffix, and m with a prefix.

Also, no one outside of scientific papers is going to type the degree symbol for temperature because it's not a common feature of keyboards.

Of english keyboards. Which honestly annoys the hell out of me because I am very used to german keyboards which do have it, but I switched to UK layout at some point because I generally prefer it. It's like the one thing I miss.
