"Palindromes..." 'James "Kimo" Rosen

Palindromes are words that spell the same backwards as they do forward, Palindromes never really made it
into the  mainstream world of words...

There are approximately 50-100 words in the English Language that spell the same backwards as they do forward. These words are called " PALINDROMES."

"Mom sees Bob Kayak, wow!" I just made a sentence out of 5 Palindromes. Other palindromes worth noting, Civic, Dad, Deed, Did, Deified, Bib, Aha, Ewe, Eve, Dud, Gag, gig, Hah, Heh,Huh,, Level, Madam, Noon, Nun, Stats, Sexes and the list goes on.

 Palindromes never got the attentions in grammar school that synonyms and opposites did, I wonder why?

  Any word with the prefix of 'Palin' you just know is going to be different. Once you start  searching for 'Palin'-dromes you may start to see Russia from your backyard. (Just kidding all my republican friends) How many Palindromes can you think of?
