Give Ervin a break, he had a calculus test tomorrow and was nervous. He was a troubled youth (TY) but he had turned his life around (HTLA) and was returning to school (RTS) so please, stop the hate (STH).

Note: for administrative efficiency please use appropriate acronyms when referring to future Ervins.

LA replies:

You didn’t mention that his nervousness about the calculus test was heightened by Stereotype Anxiety (SA).

I keep reading the title of your entry about Ervin McKinness as “The Final Solution to One’s Rapper Problem.” Works pretty well, I think.

LA replies:

I knew the title, as a paraphrase of “The Final Solution to the X Problem,” was not perfect, but it was the best I could do.
