Comm Confusion

"Headings are always "Turn left to three-six-zero""

Has nobody else seen the fault with that? I have heard pilots confuse ".. Left (to) Three-sixty" between heading to fly, and doing a circle.

Further, I have never seen a compass or heading indicator with 360 on it: just N or 0. Why shouldn't ATC say, "Turn left to Zero"?
