Northwest Arkansas Community College knew it was about to mangle the English language when it chose the abbreviation NWACC. Someone had to know, and still must, because the college is officially named (including approved capitalization) NorthWest Arkansas Community College.
Well, the Daily Record never fell for it. English is not subjective for each user. So it was surprising to see that, post-merger, the Daily Record has caved and English has lost. I'm still not sure what the official nomenclature is, though, since the educational institution was referred to as "North-West Arkansas Community College," but the hyphen, based on the placement on the page, was likely inserted to break up the word for spacing concerns. Then again, who knows.
On an unrelated note, the story in question was written by Tabatha Hunter, who has gain notoriety for her reporting on Benton County Government, reporting that was conspicuously absent from the Morning News. With Hunter gardening stories at the college, who's watching Bisbee?
