As mass layoffs and buyouts ripple through the local job market, more Washington residents are considering leaving their jobs. Can they afford it?

    DOW is back over 51k. That means everything is good and nobody is allowed to complain.

      FYI, DOW doesn’t stand for anything. “Dow” is commonly used to refer to the “Dow Jones Industrial Average.”

        They weren’t implying it was an acronym. They were just shouting DOW at you.

            I’m fighting every urge to try turning that into an acronym.

              Don’t fight it. If it feels good, do it.

          Sure, this time I managed to figure it out. Next time they screw up an acronym, somebody else might not.

        Dow stands for Charlies Dow, the co-founder of Dow Jones & Company.

          No, his name is Dow. DOW doesn’t stand for anything.

              We usually acronymize that as DoW, not DOW, though some people use all caps.
