2K25 for the date... Stop it, just stop it!

I have seen this twice now... God please don't let it become a "thing"

Is it REALLY easier to type a "K" instead of a "0" or are you just trying to be hip or cute? No, it would be harder or slower on a phone at least because you would have switch from the number keypad to letter keypad then back.

example...

I just bought a new to me 2K21 Ford F250.

Endeavor to persevere.

A lot of stupid people celebrated the new millennium in the year 2000 and called it 2K.

Computer guys made a pantload because of how well they were selling Y2K.

It was a thing 25 years ago. Tamagotchi, Waterford Crystals, and Commuter Barbie were also a thing back then...

but the 2K being trendy went the way of hands free car kits for cell phones.

Heck, I’m extremely annoyed that I have to type contracts from request forms where the telephone number on the form is text-style with no dashes or periods. It is surprisingly hard for my old eyes to render them “proper” late in the day.

It's the kind of trendy idiocy I routinely banish from this forum.

Just go full Roman numerals on them. Cripes sakes. It’s all been done.
