I like SPN Lifer's "$5.50/1,000 pts" because it's easier for the mathematically challenged to understand. I've seen way too many misplaced decimal points over the years! How many times have you seen a price written as " .25c" when it's obviously 25c ? If you tried to hand the clerk a penny to pay for four of them, s/he would look at you as if YOU were the idiot!
