Call it typos, grammatical errors or spelling mistakes, whichever way, Ghana became a laughing stock in the eyes of the world, after series of blunders were spotted in the interpretive brochures used for the 59th Independence Day Anniversary on Sunday.

The development, however, attracted a storm of criticism from a section of the public, as some took to social media to vent their spleen.
