what is it called when the date reads the same forward and backwards
Print|. A A. This week is Palindrome week, when each date reads the same backward as it does forward. Palindrome Week started on 4/12/14 and ends on 4/19/14, and those dates and the ones in between read the same no matter which direction you start from.
Extending through May 19, every date written numerically is a palindrome. That means you can read it forward or backward and the date will be perfectly balanced. You can look forward to another spectacular palindrome next June when 6/10/16 comes up on the calendar. In the meantime, enjoy this week and the spring weather -- perhaps in a kayak.
