Thank you very much for your comment.

Thank you very much Milice.
I got 6 of these correct – but not the ones on Serbia and Paul Newman.
I had to look up “Daltonist”, as I wondered why being a follower of the ideas of John Dalton – which is what I had taken the word to mean – would have the effect you describe. A better way of phrasing it would have been “he suffered from Daltonism” or “he was colour-blind”.
I reckon that the question about the Serbian cemetery – informative though it is – hardly counts as general knowledge! What is the full story about the name derivation?
I have just checked this story. The name (which incidentally is Zeitenlik) derives from a Turkish word meaning “olive”, because the site was originally an olive plantation. If oil was sold there it had to be olive oil, not motor fuel!
Zeitinlik is a Turkish word and indicates the place where the oil for sale was sold, not the engine oil.
I accept your remark that the matter does not fall within the general culture.OK.
Consider yourself 6/7
One knows what Daltonism is.
As for Daltonism, if I were an Englishman like you and I probably wouldn’t describe how you suggested: A better way of phrasing it would have been “he lost from Daltonism” or “he was color-blind”.
You see, I’m not English, I’m using a text editor.
it is called

You can try it in the texts you posted.
I am and I found you to be wrong as an Englishman.
But I’ve never written it to you before.
Now I am.
I do appreciate the difficulty, and also the efforts that I know you go to in order to make your contributions to Virily in what is a foreign language for you.
I hope you don’t mind the occasional correction – it is only offered as a help to you so that you can pick up lots of hints about how we native speakers use the language.
As for grammarly.com, I am not convinced by it in all circumstances. For one thing, i speak and write British English, and grammarly is an American product. There are many differences between the colloquial English of different parts of the English-speaking world.
Merry Christmas, Robin!
Thank you very much.You too.
You got 4 out of 8 right!
Thank you very much Snezana.

Thank you very much Carol.
Paul was a great actor!
