Palindromes and Semordnilaps
30 replies · 5101 views
A palindrome is a word, phrase, sentence or any sequence of characters that reads the same backwards as it is forward.
However, did you know this?: 'palindromes' spelled backwards is 'semordnilap,' which is a word itself.
What's a semordnilap? It's a word that, when spelled backwards, forms a completely different word.
Use this thread to share a palindrome and/or a semordnilap. Enjoy!

FYI: It's "semordnilap"; "palindromes" backwards. 
My bad I mispelled it.
Not "bad" at all.

^ This is a semordnilap because when reversed, it spells a different word. A palindrome reads the same forwards and backwards, e.g. mom, dad, radar, civic, noon. Hope this helps.
