Well, I've heard this all somewhere before. Except for the part about metric abbreviations. I've been writing it as 1KM without the space forever and have never been called out on it. And I didn't put a comma after "forever" because the preceding sentence is a compound predicate. Although if I had written, "and I have never," it would be two independent clauses requiring a comma.

Lesson learned. Until I mess up again next time.

When was the last time you wrote "1KM"? I'd have called that out had I seen it unless I'm getting senile. Normally, you write "1K," which is fine.

Ah, okay. Yeah, I normally drop the "M." Damn, even when I'm right, I think I'm wrong...
