Do we really need West and South when we can use negative North and negative East?

Why even use WORDS for it? That's too long.

Let's use ternary numbers, one for each of North-South and East-West. A 1 is center, 2 is north/east, and 0 is south/west.

So North is now 21. South east is 02.

Much easier to say like that, and it covers all 8 directions too and the center (11) too.
