Thanks, that's a neat resource to making hexadecimal numbers for memorizable and easier to transmit phonetically with some built in error checking from the odd/even list alternation. However, for the core purpose of the phonetic t

If you control the system for generating the codes and the system for verifying the codes (which is generally the case for these kinds of codes), then nobody needs to know you've done anything. It's the same normalizing to upper&#

You then have to currate a list of words which also don't have similar sounds, are comprised of subwords, aren't offensive, or other gotchas. I don't think words work well for codes that aren't meant to memorized. They m

This seems slightly flawed in that it completely removes all members of a similar set rather than normalizing to a single element per similar set. Thus after normalization, '1lI' would become '111'. This allows you to ad

Go read about geofenced warrants to learn how warrants for the data for large numers of people, most of whom obviously can't all be involved. Then get back to me.

So the point you were trying to make is that single land roads don't face traffic issues from merges and lane changes? That seems to trivially be false in my experience. Having driving all over the USA on roads with a single lane in ea
