A street name "sounds" similar to that of another street but is not spelled the same way.

I must say I don't 100% understand how the code of the soundex test works, but to my knowledge it looks for names that "sound" similar. Thereby for instance detecting typo's like James Bond vs James Bont. However, this also means that it'll inherently have some false positives (like in Dutch Kennedylaan vs Kennedybaan: Kennedy lane vs Kennedy track). Human verification is very important with this one.
I don't know if it was supposed to be restricted to streets (in which case a highway-check is missing) or not (in which case the text should be updated)
There is name in street but common with other objects and it is better to have more data for self comparing.
See also #813.
also, I have no idea what and why is supposed to be wrong here
Yes the title is bad, it should say what is wrong, not how it works.

yes, it would be nice if the test mentioned from which element it got that other/similar name. Currently it is guessing work (and it may well be that it is the other element that needs editing, not the highlighted one).

Perhaps title="Possibly misspelled name" would fit better then "Soundex test" ?

So if that is intentional, perhaps detail='A street name "sounds" similar to that of another street/place but is not spelled the same way.' would be less confusing then? (bold text added).
