Not to be confused with a current political figure, the palindrome is a word that creates the same word when read backwards, which is represented in the Dr. Awkward and Madam, I’m Adam reference.
What a word is called that reads differently backwards is as different of a read as any – according to information available on the web – some claim these types of words are known by the moniker Janus, while other adopt the palindrome spelled backwards and plural, a semordnilap.
However, for this 2nd V Decision Tree demonstration, it is the distance in the alphabet that is created with these alternate reads on a combination of symbols and how the listings display differently when sorted by their backwards version relative to their forward read. I almost tossed this into the 3rd, but this doesn't necessarily display itself primarily in a short comment setting, applicable as it can be.
When one sorts though this short list of backwards and forwards words, certain spatial properties occur that can significantly influence and impact a scenario or outcome of a more automated read from a listing stance. Whereas Snaps and Snips stay quite close to one another amongst other words in this list, Draw and Ward have the greatest degree of alphabetical separation. Therefore, had this list been sorted alphabetical last rather than alpha first then alphabetical distance, Snaps and Snips would have listed within inches of each other while Draw and Ward would have showed up on entirely separate pages, assuming someone was performing a manual search on this list.
This particular feature of examining a set of linguistics plays far more of a subtle nuance role than providing a glaring facet in any particular direction other than voicing a “present and accounted for!” statement of accomplishment(?).
