Slang in King Richard (movie)

In the movie King Richard, Richard Williams seems to be very smart and he always wants to set high standards for his kids. So why does he speak slang and makes so many grammar mistakes? 2405:4803:FC2F:7300:4881:7A71:54BB:167F (talk) 15:38, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Different is not wrong. Richard Williams is capable of what is called code-switching, in which is when a person is able to switch between different languages (whether they are dialects, registers, or completely distinct languages) depending on social context. He is not making "grammar mistakes" and using "slang", he's switching between standard English and another dialect depending on his social situation at the time. --Jayron32 18:30, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
