Anyone else bothered by how weirdly the combat numbers are abbreviated?
So Blizzard added an option to truncate and abbreviate combat numbers which is great, however I think the way they did it is pretty weird: http://i.imgur.com/qjDNO7j.jpg
Bothers me quite a bit... it's supposed to make reading them easy, but yet they managed to make it confusing again.
And I don't think it's about avoiding the word billion due to NA/EU differences, as they also write 7192k instead of 7.19M

There is totally a bunch of reasoning behind the way in which we chose to abbreviate the new combat numbers, and I'm working on a detailed blog that gets into the nuances.
Rather than spoil that here, I'll just leave you with the tease that there's a big blog on this coming, it's super behind-the-scenes, and overall, pretty darn interesting. There's a lot of fact-checking involved, so I don't have an ETA... other than soon™. :)
