OK you win Paul, put away your megaphone and gather your toys up off the
ground. After all remembering two 7-digit floating point numbers is much
easier than remembering three words to the average person in these
underdeveloped areas. It must be my brain's off-day. Have you shared
your idea with USPS? Let's all use lat/lon and scrap all that silly
business with street names and zip codes. What's not to like?
Oh, and tell all these people they are stupid as well
