Negative Product Option

[qimmik]

We have been trying to find a way to use lbs and partial qty (lbs) for our products, which is candy. Added a "product option" called pounds, type is options group, display type is select box. The group options we have one set as: name is 1/2 lbs., price modifier is -50 percent, weight modifier is -50 percent, which is enabled. Of course we have a 1 lbs option and a 5 lbs option also.
The problem is the product option shows: 1/2 lbs. (- $4.00, & minus; -0.5 lbs). (without the space & minus)

Have a question though, is this the best way to use partial qty? What if a customer want 2.5 lbs, I wonder if customers are smart enough to use the 1/2 lbs option and a qty of 5? Any way to make it easier?
Also, I haven't looked into it and will today, but can we change qty to lbs? (That might even make it more confusing but will look into it.)

Thank you for any and all the help and support you have provided!
