  Those insulting must stop, please. If you are not good at identifying errors , allow those who have the knowledge and technicalities to do so for some for of us to learn.

  The fact of the matter is that we are simply not a nation of readers. We don't have our own literature. We don't have children's books, nor do our parents have the expertise and the time to read to us when we were children.
  Can you seriously tell me the number of libraries we have in ithe whole country?
  We are a nation that does not read, period!
  And that unfortunate fact is affecting us right now, in the way we speak, write and think.
  No doubt we are quick to resort to insulting, without analyzing the problems before us.

  A solution is children should be encouraged to read, read and only read good books and they will grow to know. WE are a nation on none readers.
  President Mills passed on not only by ill- health but disappointed about the failure of no school under trees project.
  When JoyFM beamed around the world a school under tree in the North during an ICT lesson and a Ghanaian teacher make the kids who apparently haven't seen a computer before except luckily for the first time the laptop this journalist brought with him. What an irony? The teacher attempted to draw a computer on a white/blackboard.
  ICT he made the pupils repeat after him to mean Internet Computer Tech- no-lo-gy.
  Immediately, I thought president Mills will lose the 2012 elections but he did not live to contest.
  Young man you want to set up a blog or website to educate or highlight common errors of English usage in Ghana for examination students. This could be a break in life for you in tbis fast paced info world where such mistakes have become commonplace globally.
  How to differentiate, text language, email and blog typo/language is becoming very blurred these days.
  I have been upset with "agent" instead of "urgent", 4 instead of for, GM instead of good morning, k instead of okay, all in the name of fast paced info world that I am just getting used to now.

  ICT is an acronym that stands for Information Communications Technology. ICT skills are extremely difficult to pin point because of its fast pace of change. It is constantly changing, and therefore difficult to teach well.

  Thank you Marcus just as the writer was only emphasizing the aspect of grammar; missing "s" in point two of his paper on common errors which I would consider rather benign in a multiple choice situation.
  My sorrow as well as that of the late president's Emeritus Prof. Atta-Mills' when. JoyFM beamed the report which I just happened to stumble on that day as it aired on the internet was devastating.
  It was an instructors error to the most vulnerable kids as we say in the North.
  The question is how does the country bridge the of failures between the north and south kids? When instructors do not know what they are teaching and government recommended text books are full of errors how do we blame poor kids.
