One of my pet peeves is people who know better calling aseres hadibros ‘ten commandments’ instead of the more-accurate ‘ten things’ or ‘ten words’.
There are actually more than ten commandments there.
But i’ve almost given up that fight, hehe...

You want to see a losing battle, try explaining to non-Jews that the Ten "Commandments" don't apply to them and they're bound by the Seven Noachide Laws instead! ;-)
But certainly `Aseret HaDevarim (as Moses called them) or HaDibberot (as most people call them today) are the veritable symbols of Torah and of Judaism. How ironic that they are assumed by almost everyone today--both Jew and non-Jew--to be symbols of chr*stianity!
