    Interestingly, I hear people use terms like millikelvin and microkelvin often enough, but never kilokelvin. In fact, there are some hilariously impractical ways to avoid large scientific notation for Kelvin. There’s T4, which is the temperature in kelvin divided by 10^4, and there’s electron volts, which is almost the same value, but preferred by different fields.
