Or I could just use a system that doesn't have that drawback. Plus codes aren't awful. I just find room for improvement.

So what you're saying is only an open source project could deal with this level of potential offense. I'll agree with that. People who don't like EVIL could add more precision to make EVILGH.

All systems have the drawback that if you don't say the entire address, you don't get the entire address. >So what you're saying is only an open source.. I was not talking about that (for that matter, plus codes are free/open source). I was just explaining why you ran into this problem: "4CFM+JX works, but 4CFM+JY?". It wasn't obvious to me why "Y" is not a valid plus-code character either until I read the spec.
