Sticking myself in (I haven't ever had another account) my closest match (at 0.43) is the maintainer of an Open Source project which I have occasionally commented about. They are also British, as am I.

My guess is that as they commonly mention the project and I have on a number of occasions, that has formed the link. Plus maybe usage of common British terms, but that seems far less significant.

It's super interesting!

It would be good if there were more controls to filter the type of words and language that are used for the matching algorithm. So you could say exclude words not in the dictionary. I wander how that would effect my link with this other person.
