Yes, quite the set indeed. Thanks Matt3o!

I can't wait to see this on my board. Incredible that so many of the more niche sets tipped -- goes to show what you can do with a classic look that has such broad appeal.

Mono! Mono! Mono!

Frack ! I thought it was already done Take your time if SP allows you, they should ever have plenty of job with 7bit's Honey GB !

I really underestimated the time need to make the templates, but they are all done, I miss only the cyrillic set. I'll work on them this weekend. Production should start next week.

If I still have two 1u |\ key with any cyrillic legend I'll be fine

Let me summon the spirit of the master…

Now don't make me use any more of them!

fifted · 17 Apr 2014, 23:14

Just let me say that this set has a monopoly on my board. :hides:

matt3o · 17 Apr 2014, 23:16

okay guys I'm throwing this here http://www.scrabblefinder.com/starts-with/mono/

and we can stop it

Muirium · 17 Apr 2014, 23:23

Looking up "monophthong" didn't get me the undergarment you might think, but instead a history of the English language…

But yes, make mine mono. Fantastic that we made it!

matt3o · 17 Apr 2014, 23:37

I'm looking forward to review the samples... I'm a little anxious, a little like being in the nursery.

ps: today watching a show I've also found out that -nite in granite is not like -nite in tonite. I felt a little like: "No, it's pronounced Fronkensteen".

scottc · 17 Apr 2014, 23:43

Or rather, the "nite" in "tonight"... English really is a silly language.

Muirium · 17 Apr 2014, 23:44

English: when in doubt, you're wrong!

We misuse the Roman alphabet so badly, perhaps we should have just stuck with runes:

And when you're not in doubt, you're probably wrong anyway! I really admire non-native speakers of English that manage to get a really good grasp on it.

fifted · 17 Apr 2014, 23:51

Good heavens, Mu -- I simply must get a runic key cap set now!

Muirium · 17 Apr 2014, 23:59

Something like this…

But mono!

Þat þorn...

Alternatively, this...

Muirium · 18 Apr 2014, 00:11

Now that's more like it! Gothic minds think alike…

I pronounce "granite" as in French (the same spelling for the same rocky meaning) I didn't even ask myself what's the English pronunciation

Rolling the "r" seems sufficient

GING : Granite is not grenight

SP opened the Pandora box with dyesub : All of those non latin legend are now affordable and easy to buy

We started with Cyrillic but we can have Gaelic, Japanese, Korean, even Khmer or Sanskrit. Since SP have now all the tools needed, even for modifiers, Sindarin can be relaunched and any imaginary SF/Fantastic languages set can be produced !

Oh My Science, I realise just now that I am a keycaps addict.

Yslen · 18 Apr 2014, 01:13

Probably a bad time to point out that granite is a mix of pink, various shades of white and black...

I'll put my geology degree back in the cupboard where it belongs now.

Vierax · 18 Apr 2014, 01:53

Well, the name chosen wasn't the most suitable (even if there is a lot of place where this rock isn't pinkish at all) but this GB rocks

Let's call it unofficially the Grey Matter set :p

Nice one Acanthophis

I would prefer a Klingon set!

You should submit this to the LCARS IC on GH

guilleguillaume · 18 Apr 2014, 05:16

I guess we will be charged soon. I have my Bank Account and CC linked with Paypal but I haven't been charged yet.

I think it will be a good idea to open a specific thread for it.

You may well see a few sets of this GB being sold as overruns in a while, too. Welcome to the Last Chance saloon…

My heart cries but my wallet is joyful.

Muirium · 18 Apr 2014, 13:24

Ouch. I'd better get busy securing trades!
