Re: What single sentence made you judge your co-workers?

While I dislike the "People only lived to 30" misconception, I also dislike the "Most people who survived childhood lived to 80" misconception. It wasn't super common to live to 80+ in pre-modern times. Not everyone makes it to 80 now and people got sick and hurt just as frequently in the past and there was less they could do about it.

Of course, people didn't just drop dead at 45 either, unless there was a health problem at work, like an accident, infected injury, disease, malnutrition, complications of childbirth, violence... everything that could kill you today could kill you then, and many more things were not survivable.

I've been listening to a podcast called the History of English that's about the English language but concerns a lot of English history, too, and it's remarkable how often kings kept dying before they'd had a chance to produce an heir.
