UN/COUNTABLE NOUNS
A quick one. Just returned from M&S. Hanging above an aisle was a sign reading "Fruits, Vegetables and Salads". No! Wrong! Stop it!
Since when did "fruit" cease to be a sufficiently descriptive/articulate word to describe bananas apples and pears? Only thing I could think of was that the sign-writer made it plural for the sake of remaining consistent with "vegetables" and "salads". But I still think it sucks.
