k edit
Avoid for 1 000 except in direct quotes, and in SI abbreviations such as km, kg.
Kant, Immanuel edit
Not Emmanuel.
Karadžić, Radovan edit
Then Dr Karadžić after first mention, for the psychiatrist and war crimes suspect. Note the accents.
Kentucky Fried Chicken edit
The company has rebranded as KFC, so the full caps title should only be used in historical contexts.
kerosene edit
North American term for paraffin. A colorless, odorless fuel.
key edit
Almost always use is clichéd; avoid where possible. Allowable for major or minor keys, as well as in association with locks or ciphers.
kick-start edit
Do not use except in regard to motorcycles.
kilobyte edit
Abbreviate to kB, but note megabyte (MB), gigabyte (GB), and terabyte (TB).
kilogram edit
Not kilogramme, abbreviate to kg. See SI.
kilometre edit
Not kilometer. (Note: kilometer is a US spelling which is deprecated because the US does not even use the km officially.) See SI.
kilometres per hour edit
Abbreviate to km/h, not kph. See SI.
kilowatt hour edit
Abbreviate to kWh. See SI.

Prefer without hyphen or space.

Preferred with hyphen for noun.
Koran edit
Do not use. Prefer Qur'an.
Kosovo, Kosovan edit

Kurdistan Worker's Party edit
Not Kuridstan Workers' Party, in Kurdish Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan thus abbreviate PKK. The PKK is identified by the United Nations, and other national and international entities, as a terrorist organization.
