Britain's Tesco supermarket chain is changing the "Ten items or less" signs
at express checkout lanes because that's bad grammar. For years, Tesco has
resisted suggestions to change it to "Ten items or fewer", but has now
accepted a suggestion from the Plain English Campaign to use the wording,
"Up to ten items". That wording, a Campaign spokesman said, "avoids any
debate."
