    I don't know what a palindrome is, but is it because it is the same backwards as it is forwards?

    Good choice Hobbes.

    That sentence is unusual because there is a space between the question mark and the last word of the question. Also, the sentence is not a sentence; it is a question.

    You feel a question is not a sentence, seems unduly harsh to me.

    It contains the word "unusual".


    The following sentence is an palindrome.

    Able was I ere I saw Elba.

    like psychology or pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis or pneumonia? Are you saying palindrome is pronounced "al-in-drome"?
