Palindrome Week
If you have a strong affiliation for words that are spelled the same way forward and backward then you have Ailihphilia(which itself is a palindrome). Most Ailihphiliacs know that our Palindrome week started on Sunday with 2/20/22.

Palindrome week is one of the only 10 day periods where the date is mirrored in the middle. It's a unique palindrome date because it's a palindrome when it's written in the United States format of month, day, year, and the format most other countries follow of day, month, year.

Google is celebrating Twosday by prompting searchers who type "2/22/2022" into Google with a flurry of confetti and a sign reading "Happy Twosday 2 You!"
