I find the arguements against W3W interesting as an example of perfect being the enemy of good.
W3W definitely has issues, but when the alternatives are getting people to work out their lat/long or read out grid references, then W3W is streets ahead of those.
I'd see it more as it seeming so great - when written - that it's easy to miss the errors that happen when (as here) someone seems to be reading the words to someone else who types them in. If you know, then you just spell it letter by letter. In this case, where the queue extends and shrinks, you really only need a rough location, and W3W is good. As would be an updated map with a landmark - probably better, really, to say "somewhere near the Kings Arms" than "this specific spot, which is already out of date".
