Frankly 'up to ten items' is more confusing.
Does that include 10 items?
10 items or less is quite clear - it is 10 items or less than 10 items.
less fewer.
Why do they not just change it to fewer, rather than sparking off a whole new debate? D:

True. It would be better indicated as the half-open interval (0, 10] which would also make clear that you can't have 0 items.
