That's correct.  An example is "Madam, I'm Adam."  If you ignore the spaces and punctuation, that becomes MADAMIMADAM, which is the same sequence of letters either forward or backward.  Notice that the "I" is the middle of the string, and doesn't have to match any other letters.  If a string has an even number of letters, then the two middle letters much match for it to be a palindrome.
