Social media reactions

Below were some of the rather interesting comments gathered by YEN.com.gh.

Kennedy McDonald Okai said:

Emmanuel Addo swift observation. After reading it I got to know he 'might' be a hearing impaired guy. As u rightly put it, that's how they construct their sentences. U did well.

Emmanuel Addo indicated:

Kennedy McDonald Okai I am a speech and language therapy student and I also took some private lessons in the use of the Ghanaian Sign Language. Some of us are too quick to judge but a little digging could open our eyes to support rather than discourage.

Selina Nana Celine stated:

Emmanuel Addo good job done for your attention to details. I didn’t even know they had a different sentence structure (I have added to knowledge today).
