What error was in John Paintsil's name at birth?

  • Wrong spelling in the registry

  • Extra Letter

  • Missing letter

  • Mispronunciation

Answer

John Paintsil's name was misspelled in the registry when he was born. The correct spelling of his name is John Paintsil, but the registry had it as John Paintshill. This was likely due to a clerical error, and it was not until Paintsil was an adult that he was able to get his name legally changed to the correct spelling.
