+        .SYNOPSIS
+            Get the Levenshtein distance between two strings.
+        .DESCRIPTION
+            The Levenshtein Distance is a way of quantifying how dissimilar two strings (e.g., words) are to one another by counting the minimum number of operations required to transform one string into the other.
+        .EXAMPLE
+            Get-LevenshteinDistance 'kitten' 'sitting'
