Mark,


From experience, I can tell you that the middle finger thrust just so is a terse comment from Mary. More to the point, though, some of the responses to posts seemed to have moved around mysteriously. Mary's response was one of them. Hell, one post I made was dated some time in 1969. That one took me aback.

A palindrome; the word comes from the Greek and means "running back again." "Able was I ere I saw Elba" is another famous one.

Someone, I don't know who and I've never read, wrote an entire novel as a palindrome.

Not taken as one. For homework, look up the etymology of the words "glamour" and "grammar." Have fun.
