Here are some fun facts (thanks to Wikipedia):
- A grand is a slang term for one thousand units of a given currency. Several grand can be shortened to Gs.
- The symbol K is sometimes used for a thousand, for example in referring to units of salary or in reference to the Y2K computer bug.
- Especially in the United States, the gambling community often refers to denominations of $1000 as dimes.
- A picture is worth a thousand words.
Why, you might be wondering, did we feel the need to provide you with these tidbits? Well today (this very post, in fact) marks our 1000th blog post!
That is a lot of book talks, author interviews, giveaways, and announcements and we would like to thank you very much for being a part of this Library Love Fest!
