I have a weird suspicion that it will yield just as many problems. I don't need to be a dyslexic to have a problem with differentiation between "Jig Oregon Wheat" and "Jog Oregano Whit".

I have no clue how what3words is assigning words, but this could be mitigated by not assigning similar sounding words to areas anywhere near each other. If your first example was in Monogolia and the second example was in the U.S., the chances of confusion would be low and it would obvious when it does happen.

they already thought of that and fixed it before it became a problem.
