Yes, it can represent 1,000, as in Kilo, kilometer, kilogram, etc.
Those who prefer that the metric system go away tend to stick with the
Latin system, in which I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, M = 1000.
Since 1, 2, 3, etc are Arabic numbers, why are we still using them
since we are all cross with the Arabs right now?
