At my Outdoor First Aid training, the trainer spent time showing everyone how to get What3Words app to display 8-figure OS Grid Refs. I really wish the OS app was just slightly better at showing your location.

Everyone on the course loves W3W. The trainer did go through in detail why OS was better than W3W for mountain rescue, which was great, and he expressed frustration that the ambulance service will only accept postcodes and W3W.

Can't wait for #What3Words to go bust 😬

Why do UK based #what3words advertise for US Big Tech?

this location in co3 colchester for a car dealer

The UK rail data sources that I use are starting to use what3words more… and I think it would be useful for @NearlyDeparted to hyperlink those locations.

I’m really not a fan of what3words… but this isn’t my data, and hyperlinking feels like the right thing to do.

Sigh.

I'm going to a Burns Supper in January. I texted my menu choice to my brother-in-law, who replied with a #what3words map: cheese.haggis.sticky [toffee pudding] is in Angola.

Many normies that I know use the app, and I feel duty-bound to point out the flaws.

The word list contains burn and burns, as well as upper and supper. This gives a good illustration of the issue of phonetically similar combos (which may be close together)

* burns.supper.choice
* burn.supper.choice
* burns.upper.choice
