This is absolutely hilarious, at least to my inner six-year-old. They seem to have filtered out words with obvious negative connotations like "ugly", words of under four letters, and maybe longer words. But through the magic of language, even very innocent words are subject to reinterpretation. And a lot of What3Words's words are actually not that innocent.
Even a small house has dozens of addresses. I checked and there is a different address in my kitchen than my bathroom, based on what3words website. If you find a certain combination offending, you can choose a different one, but on the other hand, on a single property there could be thousands of addresses, many of which funny or embarrassing.
Or you just use geocoordinates like everyone else. This project is aimed to make addresses more memorable for humans, machines do not have such a problem.
Machines do not. However, humans would find it difficult to memorize the GPS coordinates for their front porch - which is why trying an approach like this with pure GPS might not work.
in French, they probably put the most unused words they could find in the dictionnary. As an example, you have 'maussaderie', 'taniser', 'houblonner', 'époussette' or 'numismate'. I'm sure a good proportion of native speakers would have to use a dictionnary to find the meaning.
It's interesting that this is so fun. (My home address resolves to something satisfyingly naughty.) An app that just generated random three word phrases wouldn't be fun, and neither would one that mapped every point on earth to a dirty phrase.
for the Marvel fans, longing.rusted.furnace is a mountain road north of Verona, Italy. The system doesn't use numbers, so thats as far as you can go if you want to write some sort of Winter Soldier fanfiction based on this.
