Palindromes

Phrases can also be palindromes. Here are some examples: 


	Step on no pets			My gym

	Live not on evil		Dumb mud

	Evil rats on no star live	Evil Olive
We do not count spaces or whether a letter is capitalized or not when deciding if the phrase is a palindrome. Punctuation also doesn't matter.

Here are a few more palindromes: 


	Senile felines			Was it a car or a cat I saw?

	Was it a rat I saw?		Was it Eliot's toilet I saw?

	Put Eliot's toilet up		No lemon, no melon

	A man, a plan, a canal, Panama		Now I won
