    You're right, it's "you're," its also "want to" and not "wanna." Good catch, I've never been a great proofreader. And thank you for your reply, but you didn't post another pronunciation to keep things rolling. So here we go:

    Palindrome

    Reads the same forward and backward. Like "racecar ", "Able Was I Ere I Saw Elba" or "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama".

    Palendrome vs. Palindrome:

    I'm not sure that it isn't the difference between English (British - UK) and English (American).

    I guess I was a little too suttle.

    You missed my incorrect spelling of Colonel.

    Grammer Police Edit:
    You're right!1 It's "you're"!2 It's3 also "want to" and not "wanna". Good catch!4 I've never been a great proofreader. [no "and5"] Thank you for your reply, but you didn't post another pronunciation to keep things rolling.6 So, here we go:

    Citation List
    1. Explatives such as this have a subject {You} and verb {'re (are)}. They need an ending punctuation mark {. or ! or ?}. If you use a comma here, it becomes a "run on sentence".

    2. Punctuation marks go after the quotation marks.

    3. When {its} is used in the possessive, the spelling is this: its
    When {it's} is used as a contraction ("it is"), the spelling is this: it's

    4. "Good catch" is used here as an explative. It therefore needs an ending punctuation mark.

    5. Grammer proper sentences do not begin with the word "and".

    6. I think the poster was trying to post the pronunciation for the word "colonel" because it was spelled phonetically and highlighted in red.

    Grammatically yours,
