The Lexicographer's Rules

"The party is over, as done as a fallen soufflŽ. Scores of companies have shut down, restaurants and bars that felt like New Year's Eve every night of the week have quieted down, and For Rent signs dot the once dot-com-saturated neighborhood of South of Market, or SoMa. In the last three months, commercial vacancy rates there have more than doubled, to 18 percent, while the vacancy rate for office space throughout the city has soared to 8 percent from 2 percent last year. Defeated entrepreneurs have gone packing. And the city has five times the available apartments that it did last year."
