More amused than bemused....
Depending on which part of my block I select I'd have close to 100 different
3-word addresses! And my letter box would be different to my front door.
And what happens with people in multi-storey apartment blocks???

What I meant was how do you stand in a particular spot and find out the "word"
address? Or the address for the hut by the creek? If the addresses are defined
by geographic squares then that means lat & long (or eastings and northings
etc.) How else would you find the lat & long but with a GPS? (Is there a
"sextants for dummies" book?)
