So you think 90% cheaper is the same as 10 times cheaper? You realize that's dumb, right?

What's 90% cheaper than $1?

Well you actually disagreed, so it seems some people need it explained.
If anything, it is 90% cheaper, which isn't the same as ten times cheaper (which is nonsense).

That's not a measure of "cheapness", or of coldness.
If a glass half full is not twice as empty as a full one.
We know what it means only because we're used to people having grossly incompetent usage.

Dick much?
It's like saying ten times colder. There is no quantitative measure of cold, or cheap.

10 times "not cheap" equals not cheap.
Perhaps they mean one -tenth of the price?
