Palindrome Sentence
February 16, 2009Did you know that the world’s longest Palindrome Sentence consists of 17,826 words? What is a palindrome anyway?
A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted). Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing. The word “palindrome” was coined from Greek roots palin (πάλιν; “back”) and dromos (δρóμος; “way, direction”) by English writer Ben Jonson in the 1600s. The actual Greek phrase to describe the phenomenon is karkinikê epigrafê (καρκινική επιγραφή; crab inscription), or simply karkiniêoi (καρκινιήοι; crabs), alluding to the backward movement of crabs, like an inscription which can be read backwards.
Now, what is a palindrome sentence? Well, let me give you an example, if I can. I can’t. Let me give you a phrase na lang. Race Fast, Safe Car. Oh ha! hahah! That was fun. Did you know that trying these things out can exercise your mind? That’s a good exercise!
