@MJNSEIFER Why do people keep mentioning the founding of Equestria when it has nothing to do with the inconsistency? The only time we hear about Equestria's founding was in Hearth's Warming Eve, which had nothing to do with Ponyville's founding. The inconsistency is between Winter Wrap-Up (when Twilight says "Ponyville was started by Earth ponies, so for hundreds of years they've never used magic to clean up winter," and we can only assume "they" are the residents of Ponyville) and Family Appreciation Day (when Granny Smith talks about when she was a filly and her family built Sweet Apple Acres, which led to the founding of Ponyville). The inconsistency there is that if Ponyville's residents have been wrapping up winter for hundreds of years (and remember, it was Twilight who said it, and she tends to not overly exaggerate stuff like this), then that would mean that in order for Granny Smith to have been around for Ponyville's founding, she would also have to be hundreds of years old. Therefore, Equestria's founding has nothing to do with the inconsistency.
