Just use BTC or satoshi (0.00000001) like in:
I just bought a car for 10 BTC!
The new Final Fantasy game will cost only 15000 satoshi!
Using mBTC, uBTC, μBTC is just unnecessary, sounds like a different coin and it will confuse a lot of people.
Coinedup and a few other sites are guilty of using mBTC.
1 satoshi is the smallest unit of BTC that's all people should have to learn. If you want massive user adoption you have to simplify things.

The use of terms like mBTC and uBTC does put me off of using BTC more widely in my day to day life as I can never understand what these terms mean.I always preferred just using Bitcoins or BTC (eg if an item costs me 0.30 Bitcoins,I'd prefer to be told in terms of 0.30BTC,not any of this mBTC stuff as I just can't understand how much things actually cost otherwise and I would feel misled/overcharged in a transaction with BTC otherwise).
The use of such terms im my view should be curbed completely if we are to improve adoption among the wider public and clean up BTC's image (any thing that seems to mislead end users due to uncertainties will cause further problems on top of all the previous scandals BTC has had.)
