::How about this:
::: A string ''s'' = abc, composed of zero or more characters of the alphabet (here, 'a', 'b', and 'c'), is said to be the [[reverse]] of string ''t'' if ''t'' = cba. For example, if Σ = {0,1} the string 0011001 is the reverse of 1001100. A string that is the reverse of itself is also called a [[palindrome]]
::I don't see the confusion; it states that we're talking about a string of ''zero or more characters of the alphabet'', and the example of 0011001 should make it additionally clear that we're talking about the ordering of the ''characters'' of the string, not ''substrings'' of the string. If you think this is still confusing, we could instead use HELLOWORLD and DLROWOLLEH, but this requires a larger symbol alphabet ({D,E,H,L,O,R,W}), which complicates the description somewhat. — [[User:Loadmaster|Loadmaster]] ([[User talk:Loadmaster|talk]]) 18:02, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
