A typo can't be "glaring"... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 23/07/2011 08:08:51 AM
My typo was an error made because I was typing fast, not because I felt an apostrophe was appropriate in that spot.

How is the existence of the Great Other "more or less certain"? I have seen no more evidence of it existing than any of the gods worshiped.

Bran's dream in aGoT. It could still be something less than a deity, but there's no reason to think that.
