I hear you on this one, Peter! Which is why I have to admit I almost jumped
for joy when I noticed at my local Target the other day that the sign read
"15 items or fewer"! I think that's the only place I've ever seen write it
correctly.

Get itchy brain cells when seeing the sign 15 ITEMS OR LESS for the
supermarket line that's intended for 15 items or fewer. <snip>
