FIRST palindrome ever spoken....

[Gliderman8]

This was the very first palindrome ever spoken:

<span style="font-style: italic">'Madam, I'm Adam'</span>

I realize English has no great hard fast rules, but shouldn't words like "Palindrome" actually be something like "Emordrome"?

Having never heard of the word "emordrome" I looked up its definition:
<span style="font-style: italic">A word that is the same both backwards and forwards. This is an improved version of the word palindrome, because unlike palindrome, "emordrome" is itself an emordrome.</span>
Thanks for enlightening me to a new word!

That's actually too funny, not being a English major, I was just trying to be a clever Donkey there.

This was the very first <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">palindrome </span></span>ever spoken:

Shouldn't this be updated to mean any statement uttered by a Vice-Presidential Silver Medalist?

Such as "I can see Russia from my house!"??! :laugh:

It would be even more funny had a candidate actually said that

I really wish people would keep the political jabs out of here. Seriously.

 

[Gliderman8]

whooda thunk a simple post about a palindrome would end up political? If only I knew, I would not have posted it.

Just want to keep it from going that direction, that's all.

 

[Silverghost]

And my intentions weren't political...just trying to be topical...connecting to someone who's name happens to be in the word and has been (mis)quoted as saying some humorous things.....

 

[Basil]

Fair enough.
