Preposition is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm guessing each italicized phrase could be rewritten as a one-word palindrome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 No hints yet!!!! It must be something with palindromes, perhaps more than one word though. Maybe each phrase could be rewritten as a palindromic phrase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
