Palindromes often consist of a sentence or phrase, e.g.,
"Eva, can I stab bats in a cave?", "Mr. Owl ate my metal
worm", "Was it a car or a cat I saw?", "A nut for a jar of
tuna", "Do geese see God?", "Ma is as selfless as I am", "On a
clover, if alive erupts a vast pure evil, a fire volcano",
"Dammit, I'm mad!","Dog, as a devil deified, lived as a god.",
"Not so, Boston.","A Toyota's a Toyota", "Go hang a salami,
I'm a lasagna hog", "A Santa lived as a devil at NASA", and
"An igloo! Cool, Gina!".
Punctuation, capitalization, and spaces are usually ignored.
Some, such as "Rats live on no evil star", "Live on time, emit
no evil", and "Step on no pets", include the spaces.
wow! Nice

Its a palindrome. We have several palindromic words. I think this is my first time of seeing a palindrome as a sentence. Nice one!

Was it a car I saw o
Or a cat I saw
Was I tac a ro

Was i+t, then seperate a from c, add c to a and r to form "car"and separate o...it gives you was it a car o.. Or alternatively
Or a cat I saw
From the end backward, you have was, add I to t to form "it", seperate a on its own, add c and a and r together to form "car" and then o on its own, you will have: was it a car I saw o

boss ur head dey there. u b correct teacher tho I got it before ur analysis bt ur analysis make sense

I thought I was the only one who was confused. People are just too st.upid. or is the op that is is s.tupid for not explaining exactly what he is trying to convey because when you read the sentence in reverse it actually does not make any sense.
