Mongolia is so meh.

Mongolia has an issue with addresses. A quarter of the country’s population is nomadic, and many of its roads don’t have names. So the government is switching to a system devised by the startup What3Words, which has assigned a three-word phrase to every nine-square-meter area on the map. This will mean that every Mongolian residence will be mapped to a phrase. For instance, the U.S. embassy currently at “Denver Street #3, 11th Micro-District, Ulaanbaatar 14190” will instead be reachable at “constants.stuffy.activism.” Memorable, yeah?

Can’t wait to see this in Google navigation and Waze.
Perhaps they should consider a dual system, jic real world weirdness.
I’m disappointed that my three words are completely lame. Meh.
Now we just a need a forum command to automatically turn meh order numbers into embedded maps showing where in the world they are.
