Not seeking/asking for anything Ben, just enjoy the ride =)

As for my Metaphone take... In fact it is. Several Metaphone variants
use Levenshtein & can be any mixture of three types of Metaphone
versions further still, or even a mix. Seems that's the way it is
in the wild...

Just differing metaphone variants, witness...

Texas = Tex[ess] (if phonetically pronounced - almost slurred sounding)

But hey: Many thanks for your input kind sir, I appreciate it.
