"Gas limit is there to protect you from buggy code running until your funds are depleted. The product of gasPrice and gas represents the maximum amount of Wei that you are willing to pay for executing the transaction. What you specify as gasPrice is used by miners to rank transactions for inclusion in the blockchain. It is the price in Wei of one unit of gas, in which VM operations are priced." https://ethereum.gitbooks.io/frontier-guide/content/costs.html

okay so all those words are need to explain "gasPrice"
when "transaction fee" would have worked no explaining needed ... and if you don't already know what a Wei Weeeeeeh is then you're likely still confused.

The different denominations of ether (wei, szabo, finney, Mether, Gether)

so "a satoshi" is not enough?
now every increment has a cute name we need to memorize ... such cuteness.
