## Example Usage
``` python
>>> import jellyfish
>>> jellyfish.levenshtein_distance('jellyfish', 'smellyfish')
2
>>> jellyfish.jaro_similarity('jellyfish', 'smellyfish')
0.89629629629629637
>>> jellyfish.damerau_levenshtein_distance('jellyfish', 'jellyfihs')
1
>>> jellyfish.metaphone('Jellyfish')
'JLFX'
>>> jellyfish.soundex('Jellyfish')
'J412'
>>> jellyfish.nysiis('Jellyfish')
'JALYF'
>>> jellyfish.match_rating_codex('Jellyfish')
'JLLFSH'
