OT - linguistic pet peeve in a snapshot

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"... http://42grap

That's a great "catch"! I like how it is framed, and the angle. I also like the colored background and the way the grass appears OOF in the foreground and in focus around the beast. I am not 100% sure if it is the effect of JPEG, but the eye appears slightly less sharp then I'd wish it to be. If
