Samuel L. Jackson has some stern advice for President Obama. In a recent interview with Playboy, the 64-year-old actor lamented on the mediocrity of linguistics in society today, remarking that he sees people on Twitter who don't even know the difference between "your" and "you're."
Interviewer Stephen Rebello pointed out that even highly educated people, including Barack Obama, drop g's from words in order to sound more "average."
"First of all, we know it ain’t because of his blackness, so I say stop trying to 'relate,'" Jackson replied. "Be a leader. Be f*cking presidential. Look, I grew up in a society where I could say 'It ain’t' or 'What it be' to my friends. But when I’m out presenting myself to the world as me, who graduated from college, who had family who cared about me, who has a well-read background, I f*cking conjugate."
