This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

in the past everyone just spelled really bad

Lol, the fact that you spelled smelled as spelled made me smile.

But yea. It was just a fact of life. People lived in the countryside isolated and surrounded by animals so it smelled bad anyway. Even when people first started living in cities there wasn't any proper sanitation at first so you were constantly surrounded by the smell of your own and everyone else's shit.
