“Up to” clearly includes the number “naught.” As in “Use our product and sleep with up to as many women as you want.”
The best example I can give is from a dramatization of Dorothy L. Sayers novel “Murder Must Advertise.” Lord Peter Wimsey, undercover as a copywriter in an advertising agency, is trying to explain the differences in the words of, from and with when used in an advertisement. The scene is amusing and always tickles my funny bone. The inclusion of the not-very-well-known word perry(cider made from pears) only adds to the humor.
I don’t know how to link, so I’m hoping someone familiar with this will do me the very great favor of posting it, either from the book itself or the video which is available on YouTube. TIA.
xkcd suggests that it could have been worse.
One I mentioned in another thread some time back:
“We don’t have competition, because we are the competition!”
…So, just a lot of employee in-fighting, I guess?
