geohash: gcuvz30z w3w: drift.march.donor

I had to switch tabs 3 times to copy across the geohash since the page I found it on wouldnt let me copy and paste, I remembered the w3w immediately.

I am 100% against something like a global addressing standard being owned by a single company, however the amount of people ignoring w3w's extremely obvious utility and pointing to pluscodes, geohashing, grid references, geocoords etc is pretty tiring.

We have a standards body for emojis, cant we just agree on an open w3w implementation.
