He may have lived a sheltered life. There was a story about him at his desk one time and he had dropped a piece of paper on the floor, and he called one of his servants in. When they arrived, they asked what the matter was and he motioned to the paper on the floor. The servant immediately said, “of course Your Majesty” and picked it up off the floor and deposited it in the garbage can (Or bin, if you prefer) and went on his way.
I’d say he’s not exactly in touch with the commoners.
My favourite is when you’re reading documentation for an API or an SDK or whatever and the examples show things like “2024-05-05” as the date where they’re both the same number and you can’t discern it at all. Like, use Halloween or Christmas or something as the date so it’s always obvious, eh?
