latitude selected from the longitude table, and vice versa for the longitude. I
can only guess that the alternate construction was deemed more pronounceable or
"interesting". Since this is the case, I generate both alternatives so you can
choose the one that seems "better". In the cases of places like McMurdo Base
("Eeseepu Bymeem" or "Neeveil Amyny"), I'm not sure there I<is> a "better".

However, solely for the purposes of amusement, it can be interesting to find
out what a given location would have been called in the alternate universe
where Whitwell's scheme caught on.

It would be lovely to use this module to change all the place names on 
online maps, wouldn't it?
