Post title: For example

A fuzzy match happens when a segment in source copy is almost like another segment either in translation memory (TM), in the same source copy or in another document of a same project (when project has more than a document).

For example:

Segment 1:
CAT tools terminology - What is a Fuzzy match?

Segment 2:
CAT tools terminology / What is a Fuzzy match?

Except for "-" and "/", these segments repeat same terms.

To calculate fuzzy matches, CAT tool generally applies a 75% rate of repetition, but some CAT tools allow you to set another % rate. Personally, I like to set 60% to leverage more content from my local TM.
