Do any who object to the misuse of less as in Express Lane; 7 Items or Less also object to more's having to do double duty?

Epitaph:
Here lies what's left
Of Leslie Moore.
No Les, no more.
and reverting back to Faldage's original question, yes, I would avoid that double-duty for the word "more" if there were an alternate word. It would seem to me that in this computer age, it would be natural to distinguish terminologically the analog from the digital.

Ah wit, purveyor of fine taste,
You surely must possess a tates.
I did not wish to leave you crossed,
But he who has a tates is lost.

Rich are they able to choose,
Selecting this, but that, refuse;
Is it that the rich are chewers
At times, at others, re-fewers?

'Tis nothing new to lose the race,
The early poster gets the space!
My legend for lateness merits the razz,
I has a many a tates, I has!
