Only in bytes. Not bits. Or dollars. Or meters. Or really anything EXCEPT bytes. Its because 2 to the 10th power is easier for computers than 10 to the third power.
Actually, it applies to bits too

And I've been using the term since you were wet nursing, so there!
Mine are made from dinosaur juice!
Whoa baby, calm down. So I'm wrong, guess things have changed.You stupid ******************************, the fucking article you linked says a kilobit is 1000 fucking bits. A kibbit is 1024 bits.
I know you need a shave and a haircut."two bits" equals a quarter...or where that originated.

I've never seen it written unless it was story, and used as a speech element. As text used to convey information, I've seen it either written out, or K as shorthand. Never G.Meh..."grand" has been used for $ thousand for many decades...$100 grand has always meant $100,000.00.
$100K has only come into use in more recent years.
The folks who have never heard "grand" probably also don't know "two bits" equals a quarter...or where that originated.

K = thousand, G = grand = thousand dollars. Thus, $100K or 100G are both acceptable, but $100G is redundant.
Also, G only works for money. In the following, you could swap $5K or 5K for 5G, bit you can't swap 1G for the 1K:
"Can you believe people in NYC pay 5G rent for an apartment that isn't even 1K in square feet?"

I did an Internet search using the popular online search engine Google and it appears many publications have used G to represent 1000 over the years, not just FoxNews, and it's apparently just to represent "grand" meaning $1000. So why use abbreviated American slang to replace something that's been used for a few millennia by the entire world? Particularly if you're still going to put a $ in front of it - It's like saying "One hundred grand dollars" which is just dumb.

Cost of living, ftw.yes, it's true...I need to shave. (haven't scraped the whiskers off since Saturday)
Oh...and a shave and a haircut is six bits...not two. (except, apparently, in the south)
A sawbuck and a fiver for me.Which now cost a sawbuck or two.
Only if she picks it up.if I put $1k on the table, can I call it the G-spot?
