This is a bit of a follow up on my recent domain listings. It's a demonstration of how to make use of the English dictionary to find similar available domains. I stop short on explaining how to do so, but it's essentially taking `metaphone('exampledomain')` and querying the value against the metaphone column of the database to check for any matches, implying similarity or sameness.
