An ambigram means a visual that is the same even upside down. It is a rare occurrence in calendars compared to a palindrome.
It was just a fine Tuesday morning when people were waking up and preparing themselves for the day when suddenly everyone's phones started beeping... Unlike the usual 'Good Morning' thoughts and eye-opening unwanted quotes, this time, the messages were about 22.02.2022 being a palindrome and an ambigram! When your phone knows it's #Twosdaypic.twitter.com/eUiwLHEzZD Happy TwosDay, people!Since it is 22022022 today, we remind you to think twice about your MOM and DAD before you speed!#RoadSafety#Palindrome
A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequence of characters that reads the same backward as forward. This solved the mystery of the new word added to our dictionary on 22.02.2022 (pun intended). Words like 'madam', 'refer', 'dad', 'redivider' etc., are some examples of a palindrome.
But what about the other new entry to our dictionaries, ambigram? Well, an ambigram means a visual that is the same even upside down. It is a rare occurrence in calendars compared to a palindrome.
It was indeed a special day as 22.02.2022 also happened to be on a 'Tuesday'. Hence, the people on Twitter had a field day connecting the dots and declaring the day as 'TWO's Day!
