Said "F4U 20k" and received a prophanity message, repeated the "F4U 20k" and got muted for 10 mins.

More like a faulty profanity filter. It's seeing the "FU" in "F4U" and assuming it's profanity.

F U and k..........

You do the math.

The reason I was hesitant to add the k in there was because it seemed to be spaced out far enough from the F and U to not be counted as profanity.

Welcome to the AH profanity filter. Where simple sentences get you muted but you can spew sewage that would embarass sailors freely. Part of the joys that make it more like home!

Seriously though, not much you can do about it. You never know what will trigger it and what you can get away with.
