I would recommend what3words for those circumstances. As an aside it

Although it appears it is not infallible:

The idea is that a simple misspelling of one of the words will be
obvious.
If the words suggest a different country then you ask again until it's
consistent with the known area / land features.

I've seen at least one example where the two locations were close enough
to be plausible, but far enough away to be dangerous.

Try:

///ashes.string.take

and

///ashes.string.takes

9 miles apart

I do agree with you it's not perfect, and what4words would be a better
implementation from a smaller dictionary of 3,000 much simpler words.
