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.

Ever visit a zoo and notice any smells, e.g. in the ape house? That’s a part of nature, of course.
It’s just we’re trying to avoid that.
