Palindrome?

At least, that's when a word can read the same backwards as it does forwards.

No, sorry Heather, I did know that one, but it's a style of writing that works when the word is turned upside. :|

Ok guys, what is the description for words/wrinting that looks the same upside down as it does the right way round.

I'm sure there is a certain word that describes this style. Any ideas?


It's an Ambigram. Quite popular at the moment on telly.

Oh i have it, just wondered if anyone else did.

Was suprised by the front cover. Quite a good issue imo. Thought they might mention the forums but sadly, no.

I've got quite a cool job working at home :)

I can't give too much away due to the NDA I have signed.

You know that big catalogue company? When you call them to place an order or scream at them, the people who answer the calls are not in a huge call centre or anything. They are working at home answering the calls over the Internet. I am now one of those!

The pay is really good and it's completely flexible.

Peter.
