I actually almost have a working version of a replacement for what3words/Xaddress/etc that solves every gripe I know of.

Format is: (1-1024) WORD WORD WORD with a relatively short wordlist (8k words). Maps to ~1 square meter and plurals/singular words represent the same value. Completely open source to everyone.

My gripe with pluscodes is memorizability. Number and 3 words from a short list should be pretty easy to remember and write down. Either way, my replacement can easily map to plus codes/lat lon/google maps/openstreetmap. I'm super excited about it.

I'll probably post here when it's closer to done.
