Iarwainiel I she/her Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Wanted to share the tre-cool Cosmere license plate I just ordered! It was a difficult choice between "ADONLCM" and "ADNLCM" with the Superman logo (so happy we have that here in Ohio!). I went with the superhero. That means, in Ohio, the full 7-letter version is still available for another Sander-fan. My car and I can't wait till it arrives! Edited June 17, 2016 by old aggie change image 13
Sam Script he/him Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Excuse me... I'm not sure whether it is proper to have THIS here. We are at Cosmere "Theories". Hope this won't be too aggressive:)) The plate is pretty awesome, though.
ccstat he/him Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night, but I'm having trouble parsing that. What is the long version?

king of nowhere Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 your licence plate is 6 letters of your choice? then i would have gone with "kelsier" or "adolin" or "roshar". seeing that, i'd never figure out it is referring to adonalsium if i didn't knew it beforehand.
Argent he/him Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Ohio plates are only 6 characters long? Ha, suckers, we get seven in Illinois I really need to find out whether COSMERE is available here...
The Ninja Yodeler he/him Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 I think it was only 6 because of the superman logo. And hello from NE Ohio Aggie. 1

I thought that too, but it didn't seem to fit any of the Gallery topics, since it's not something I actually made. Also, I was hoping wider exposure here would encourage others to look into getting their own Cosmere plates. If the Admins choose to "mallet" the thread or move it, I'll totally understand.

Yes, but the sense of subterfuge is part of what made it fun for me: only Sander-fans will get the reference, others will just be puzzled. I admit, it was tempting to go with "KELSIER," but Adonalsium spans the whole Cosmere series of books; most everything/everyone else does not ... at least that we know of for sure. I suppose Icould have gone with "HOID" but ... well, what's done is done. Thanks everyone for your encouragement!

Sunbird she/her Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Awesome, aggie! I think your spelling of Adonalsium is really clever, how it utilizes the pronunciation of the letters' names to portray the word without having to spell it out fully.
Kaymyth she/her Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 The 0/o substitution won't work in a lot of states; Kansas, at least, considers them to be the same character. My license plate says Vworp because I drive a Cardis. 2
Orlion Blight he/him Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Well, Aggie, if I ever see your car, I'll be sure to shatter it into 16 pieces 2

That's not what it sounds like at all. I think it's at least in a reasonable sphere of accuracy, but transliterations are very subjective beasts.

Probably more like a wheezing gasp, like maybe "HrrUUHHHH." 4 hours ago, Kaymyth said: I think it's at least in a reasonable sphere of accuracy, but transliterations are very subjective beasts. This is very true. I met a birdwatcher once who kept saying that a goldfinch's song sounded like "potato chip" to him, and I just couldn't hear it.
Orlion Blight he/him Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 One bird is called a killdeer because it apparently sounds like it is saying "kill deer!" I don't hear it.

I don't hear it. Oh man, I love those birds. <3 Lots of birds are named after their calls... Chickadees say "chicka-dee-dee-dee," Laughing Gulls sound like they're laughing at you, Bobwhite quail say, "bob-WHITE!", a whip-poor-will says, "Whip-po-hor-will," a chuck-will's-widow says its name, an Eastern Wood-pewee says "pee-a-weeee," an Eastern Phoebe says "PHOE-be!", and Gray Catbirds mew like cats. (Can you tell I love birdwatching? XD)
