Season 5 of Game of Thrones is the season of Stannis Baratheon.
Having spent the previous four seasons being, to put it bluntly, a boring, uptight, lousy Melisandre puppet, Stannis "The Mannis" is turning a new leaf this season. Character-developing scenes have shown that Stannis is a good father, a fair leader and, most recently, a real stickler for correct grammar.
On Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones, entitled "Kill the Boy," Stannis Baratheon corrects the grammatical error of a member of the Night's Watch because he just can't help it.
As the most pragmatic potential ruler of Westeros left in the running, Stannis doesn't have the patience for bad grammar. The instance in "Kill the Boy" wasn't Baratheon's first run-in with the less/fewer mistake, as seen in a clip from Season 2:
If Twitter is any judge, Stannis' correction might just have won a few wannabe Westerosi over to the Baratheon cause.
Stannis correcting grammar under his breath, then being nonplussed to explain it is easily the best thing that's ever happened on GOT.— Brandon Stroud (@MrBrandonStroud) May 11, 2015
I had no real opinion on Stannis Barathean until he corrected a fewer/less grammar mistake. Now he is my #GoT hero.— Jessica Welman (@jesswelman) May 11, 2015
Stannis the one true King of Grammar. #gameofthrones @GameofOwns— Emily Rugburn (@PennyLane516) May 11, 2015
Apologies to Stannis if there were any grammatical errors within this article.
