A long time ago, Missy and I were in a cash-poor position, and I decided to try earning a little side money by applying at a temp agency. They tested my typing ability and basic familiarity with Microsoft Office. I had used word processors before, but not Word. And at that point it had been a few years. In fact, the most advanced word processor I had used ran on a black and white Mac, if that gives you an idea. A few things had changed.
They asked me what the squiggly red line under a word in my document meant. I didn’t know.
Think about that. I did not know what the red line, the foundational interface of a modern spell checker, meant. To make it worse, while failing to answer that question, I looked directly at a misspelled word and didn’t catch the error.
I was not offered any work.

Not to mention the subterranean city hidden beneath the Magic Kingdom.
I once had two middle-aged men walk up to me while I was working in one of the parks and ask me to solve an argument for them. One of the men said that he had heard there was an extensive tunnel system under the Magic Kingdom.
The other guy said, “No, there isn’t.”
I said, “There is.”
The first guy said, “I told you.”
The second guy said, “No, there isn’t.”
I said, “I’ve been in it, more than once.”
The second guy said, “You’re lying.”
I don’t have a lot of faith left in mankind’s ability to settle our differences.
