The U.K.’s largest retailer Tesco has bowed to pressure from those lobbying for the use of good English and have altered checkout signs reading “ten items or less” in the interests of being grammatically correct. From now on, signs in new stores are to say “up to 10 items” after a long running argument with those who have objected to the use of the word “less” in that context.
