Somebody earlier today made a palindrome of her name:

An anagram maybe. Not a palindrome.

Take a closer look, IJ.

BTW, why isn’t “palindrome” one?

“Naomi Wolf: “Flow, I moan” is a palindrome. The letters spell the same backwards & forwards, not including punctuation & caps. An anagram is a rearrangement of the letters, as when the immigrant French author Sanche de Gramont anagramitized his surname into the more American sounding “Ted Morgan”.

Now, is this a palindrome?

“T. Eliot, top bard, notes putrid tang emanating, is sad. I’d assign it a name: gnat dirt upset on drab pot toilet.”

From “Here at the New Yorker”, Brendan Gill, 1976.
