I told you I was older....

Regardless of when it was invented, it may not have come into common

Clover is still common and still, for the most part, not a problem.
Almost everyone I know has it in their lawns and it's no big deal.
Sometimes it can take over if the grass isn't doing well for some
reason though.

Some people are very, well, anal about their yards and can't stand
having one bit of non-grass in them. One of my old neighbors was like
that. They fertilized heavily all year 'round and watered (and mowed
(and weeded (and sprayed (and ...)))) endlessly. When they moved the
new neighbors took OK care of their lawn by normal standards but it
looked like h*ll after a few weeks because it wasn't being babied any
more. They couldn't figure out what was going on until I explained.
