Radio advertisements have me rolling my eyes, too: I throw up just a little in the back of my mouth every time I hear something advertised for, "zero money down!" "Zero" is a number... you couldn't offer an item (car, unsecured loan, Lasik surgery, appliances, whatever) for "five money down," or, "a hundred money down..." Ergo, you can't offer it for "zero money down!" Offer it for, "no money down." That is grammatically correct. When somebody offers something for, "zero money down," I think they have an IQ that's farther from 200 than it is from no.
