Palindromes


 Palindrome  -  WORD PLAY 

Oh I love to play with words... Even day I play Words with Friends, and an Italian word game, called Free Rice.

So today I am posting about Palindromes. These are fun words, phrases, or sentences (or numbers) that are the same going backwards, as they are going forward. 

pal·in·drome
/ˈpalənˌdrōm/
noun
  1. a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as forward, e.g., madam or nurses run.


    DATES, can also be in palindrome style:

    Sunday – 02/02/2020 – is the first “global” palindrome since 11/11/1111. Unlike other palindromic dates, such as 10/02/2001, 2 February, 2020 is considered a global palindrome because it is exactly the same written both in the DD/MM/YYYY format as well as the US standard of MM/DD/YYYY.

    They are so fun. You KNOW I love ITALY, so here is one of my FAVORITE palindromes:

                                            An Italian palindrome:   Amore, Roma.

    Here are a bunch... Have fun reading them and seeing the patterns.
