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

Compliments, sis.

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.


Well it does, break the spaces.

This sentence of yours, is it from the KJV of the bible? Please is ere not colloquial? Ere is short for before. So tell us the meaning of the sentence. After that done, your score will be A!

Madam I'm Adam. Read the sentence from in the reverse order staring from adam back to madam.
Madam I'm Adam it's not a sentence palindrome but phrase palindrome.

GBAM ! Ur school fees no be waste.... Nice one
XXX5:
this is false. the "C" in CAR and CAT when read in reverse would not be written C correctly.

Here is my proof

take for instance the sentence was written with a marker on a Car windscreen from outside, an observer inside the car rather than seeing a CONCAVE 'C' will see a CONVEX 'C' hence, there is no Symmetry in this sentence as claimed by the OP.

chaiiiii i cant believe this guys should read again and use common sense to figure it out

The sentence is syntactically correct
well put grammar but semantically off it

The problem here is since you tryin to put up a fact your sentence should be both syntactically and semantically correct in other to get the picture

moreover reading it backwards would break the words which is not ought to happen...........

Re: The Only English Sentence That When Read In Reverse Will Still Be The Same by abbey621(m): 1:51pm On Dec 28, 2015
Technically it's not the same since you are not reading word or word instead you are displacing letters to make your case but nice try!
