And though there is no any.three.words there is a many.tree.words in Melbourne suburbs. So what proportion of 3 word combos in English language are covered by the 57 trillion squares? G

larkim Mar 2019 3:56pm, 27 Mar 2019 7,154 posts	Quote Pin larkim It's only 40,000 words as the basic dictionary to cover the globe to give 64 trillion combos. Very clever really. But I sense it will remain an amusing option rather than a really viable tool. It's genuis in terms of being able to create un-confusable locations (e.g. gears.funny.trial would be nowhere near hears.funny.trial or gears.funny.trail) also is it's weakness - as you don't know inherently where somewhere is, and you can't describe broader locations.
