My thoughts exactly. Alright, as the Chinese speaker I will clarify this mistake. The first character '干' or 'gan' means 'dried' but is also slang for the naughty word mentioned above.

As if this lover of language needed proof, several recent studies — and this New York Times article — prove that being bilingual not only makes you smarter, it can also stave off the effects of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
