Palindromes

Palindromes are words or groups of words that read the same way forward and backwards because the letters are mirrored at the half-way point.  For them to grammatically make sense forwards, they often have punctuation and particular spacing; to read them backwards, the punctuation often has to be moved (or removed) and the spacing and capitalization will probably need to change.

Examples:

No lemons, no melon = nolem on ,snomel oN = no lem on s no mel oN = no lemons no meloN = No lemons, no melon

Lisa Bonet ate no basil.  = lisab on eta tenoB asiL = lisa b on et a te no B asiL = lisa bonet ate no BasiL = Lisa Bonet ate no basil
