The McHenry County Sheriff's Department (MCSD) won't tell residents about an escaped prisoner, but it sent out a long NIXLE message about "WHooping Cough" late this afternoon.
Yes, folks; that's WHooping (sic) Cough; at least, according to MCSD it is. For sixty years, I spelled it "whooping cough", and I am beginning to wonder whether I was spelling it incorrectly all those years.
MCSD could have saved a lot of cyberspace by just reminding readers to catch last Wednesday's article on whooping cough.
Usually, important messages are the other way around. The Sheriff's Department issues a NIXLE message to alert residents of some urgent matter, and the newspaper follows up on it. Most moms know about whooping cough. Was it really necessary to send it out via NIXLE?
Who the heck is in charge of NIXLE at MCSD, anyway?
