Interesting idea, despite the technical problems that might arise, I think it might be a very practical &quot;solution&quot;.<p>You do get some funny&#x2F;weird situations:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;map.what3words.com&#x2F;parir.seguro.rasga" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;map.what3words.com&#x2F;parir.seguro.rasga</a><p>Which translates to giving birth surely rips.

I wonder how this idea could help in delivering stuff in particular locations, like a certain apartment address. This idea, although an innovative one, could still fail in a lot of scenarios.
