F**k the Fresh Fruit: save bad Chinese/English translations

The word "dry" and the Chinese slang for "f**k" are the same. Many translation software that are used by unqualified translators, usually people who know a bit of English and want to make some money on the side by picking up a translation job, would translate "dry goods" into "f**k goods", and "dry fruits" into "f**k fruit" etc.

Chinese have no conjugation for singular and plural. Signs would say, e.g., "We sell apple" instead of "We sell apples."
