A new definition of xodpox.

If you haven't noticed, the word xodpox is a visual palindrome. The fact that it can look the same but be flipped over symbolizes how some words can look the same but have their meaning "flipped over" or mis-understood. This phenomenon of xodpox, or definitional inversion, can have an impact on behavioral trends in society.

I am shifting the focus of this blog to discover, research, and explain instances of xodpox in society. In cases where certain perceptions of definition are better than others, we will identify ways to reinforce better perceptions of definition.

Identifying instances of negative xodpox and efforts to "flip back" to a state of positive xodpox will lead to positive social change. There is also potential to measure the current state of xodpox for key terms in society and day-to-day life. We aim to identify these key terms and generate indices of xodpox.
