: Living memory is anything that you know to be fact,
: whether you saw it or read it or its recorded in
: history, etc. Living memory as opposed to memory which
: is just personal experience. So you can't remember
: seeing Julius Caesar in power in Rome but it did
: happen so it can be placed under living memory.
I still disagree about that meaning of the phrase 'living memory'... if he was referring to all of known history, why didn't he just say "history" or "in all of history"? That narrator knows so little of his own immediate past I don't think he'd ever dare to make a statement as grand as that.
Unless something far more convincing comes along, I cannot find myself thinking "all of history" and "living memory" to be interchangable terms. That nuance of meaning imo is stretching it a bit.
: You just said he was in a post immediately before this.
Doom said that the Watcher was an Avatar. I never said the Watcher was an Avatar. I think the previous poster mistakenly made it sound like he said the sentence to which you are referring. It was actually my statement. *He* believes the Watcher was an Avatar.
