My pet peeve as well, Igor - Alas, it seems that "less" has been taking
over and i'm told by an editor friend that it is now considered
acceptable usage. My other one is the "both don't have/are not" in place
of "neither have/neither are"

It has been discussed many times in many venues that the correct usage is
"10 items or FEWER" vs "10 items or less" (and apparently there is no complete consensus,
even though I am on the "fewer" side in this case).
But in this case, the situation is worse:
"UP TO .. or LESS"...
