We have - that's why I am whispering. But w3w is not intended for the
US. It's for places which don't have addresses already, which apparently
is a large part of the world. And I would be surprised if even a US
delivery driver doesn't have a sat nav, which can easily deal with w3w
(check out Navmii for example).
