   You can tell it is written for local people. I find it quite jarring when I have to stop reading to find out what ROTC or MSC are supposed to mean.

      I’m not sure that’s true, I was able to infer from context what MSC stands for and if you’ve had exposure to American culture then ROTC is quite common.

      I live 3000 miles from east Lansing.

      It's a local newspaper. It's not in English because it's seeking an international audience.

      But, MSC is easy enough to determine from context, and ROTC would be a familiar abbreviation for any American.
