My pet peeve as well, Igor - Alas, it seems that "less" has been taking

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"...
