The major problem is (especially for the second question), they have a hard time distinguishing between cents and dollars.

0.002 dollars is stupid anyway, their readout on their computer should simply say .2 cents.

Yeah the other problem is bit vs. byte.

They need to learn the difference between dollar and cent, and bit and byte.
In other words most get it COMPLETELY WRONG....

Yeah, but to the average end user, .002 dollars sounds like a LOT less than .2 cents. I even had to pause and think about it for a second to figure out what exactly it was.
