Mirror/Palindrome type puzzle...

Factual Questions
1

Couldn’t find a completely suitable forum for this question, so I shan’t be at all surprised/upset if the Mods decide against my choice to post in GQ.

The capital letters A H I M O T U V W X Y are unaffected by viewing in a mirror, so what’s the longest sensible English word or phrase that can be constructed using only these letters that also reads as a sensible English word or phrase when viewed in a mirror, I’ll be even more impressed if the phrase is truly palindromic.

I’ll permit spaces between words to be omitted/ignored, as this ought to make it a tiny bit easier.

I did a bit of Googling and found:

A TOYOTA

but it must be possible to do better.

3

How about

TOO HOT TO HOOT

Don’t be; by the requirements, it will have to be palindromic.

4

Too Hot To Hoot is not palindromic, and would not look the same in a mirror. but yes, it would have to be palindromic to look the same in a mirror.

5

I
A
MOM
TIT
TOOT
WOT
MAY
TAO
WAY

But I haven’t found one yet longer than A TOYOTA.

It certainly is palindromic. One of the rules of palindromes is that you ignore spaces. The only reason it isn’t a mirror image is because of those spaces (or if you write it in lowercase).

But I was mistaken that the phrase will have to be palindromic to meet the requirements of the OP.

No, I said it has to make sensein the mirror as well as the right way around; it needn’t necessarily be a palindrome at all.

Slaps forehead.

Slaps forehead.

Man, not may day anymore, time to get ofline and go play video games.
