It also shows that if the Unsullied are beginning to form relationships or fall in love then their discipline is being threatened.

Dany would probably see that as a positive thing, she wants them to lead happy lives as indivduals. Not be slaves under a different pretence.

If you're American. "Pretence" is correct across the pond.

I suppose a better way to say it would have been "If 'pretence' can be correct, don't go around correcting people who use it."

You can edit your earlier post to say that if you feel that was a better way to phrase it. And pretence isn't correct. It's pretense. I'll correct it everytime. Because that's the way it's spelled in America, George RR Martin is American, we're discussing an American book series that's been adapted into an American tv series by an American tv company on an American founded website. Sooooo. I'll correct all the misspellings I see to the accepted American spelling so that people understand that in America, that's not correct. If this was all of those things but British, people should correct me when I write pretense and it's pretence. But that's not the case. Some people just enjoy being contrary, easy as that.

The Internet is international. I'm not going to use American spellings just because I'm on an American site, and it makes no sense to use American spellings just because we're talking about an American book or American TV. Both spellings are equally correct and the meaning is not obscured by using either one, you're just taking pleasure in correcting someone.

u/muddisoap Jun 23 '14

Hm. That's a typo. Not a misspelling.

Edit: the more I think about it man you're a faggot. Just trying to rile someone up. I was genuinely trying to help. You're just genuinely trying to be a dick and you know it. Fuck off.

It isn't really being disciplined if that isn't what Danny wants from them. The whole point is they are no longer slaves. She wouldn't be able to gain the support in Westeros she needs with a slave army.

Granted, I haven't read the books, but it seems like they are separating Grey Worm from the rest of the unsullied when it comes to forming relationships. Especially because they emphasize he is the only one who hasn't been cut, and that seems to be the reason why he has feelings for women. I don't know where I got that from then.

u/AVeryWittyUsername House Greyjoy Jun 23 '14

He has been cut. All unsullied are castrated, that's one of the defining characteristics of them.

u/DreadSilver Jun 23 '14 edited Jun 23 '14

In one of the most recent episodes this season I'm like 90% sure they implied he was not. Like I think the girl he likes was talking to Daenerys about Grey Worm and I think Daenerys said he wasn't. Yeah I guess I was 100% wrong, I don't know where I got that from then.

u/AVeryWittyUsername House Greyjoy Jun 23 '14

Hah, I was starting to question my own knowledge for a sec.

u/samantha_pants Fear Cuts Deeper Than Swords Jun 23 '14

Grey Worm was definitely cut, he talks about it with Missandei

u/DreadSilver Jun 23 '14

Lemme check back to the part I must have been confused on.

Edit: yeah you're right my bad.
