When editing the dictionary, it might be wise to include common alternate spellings. An American may or may not think to search for color-related things using the spelling "colour". Ditto for the other standard mismatches: theater/theatre, center/centre, etc.

I generally use the Wells dictionary as the starting point for any changes in the Lernu dictionary, and it usually indicates British and American spelling. I always try to remember to add both versions!

I've just noticed that only 'centre' was listed, so I've now added 'center'.

Just updated the entry for theatre/theater. For some bizarre reason, it used to look like this:
theatre/theater = teatro, fotelo (...stall)
fotelo? What does an armchair have to do with a theatre? And what's the idea behind 'stall'?

Anyway, the entry now looks like this:
theatre/theater = (for plays etc) teatro; (med.) operaciejo; (for lectures) prelegejo

I've always used kolorblindeco, but I can see daltonismo as an interesting alternative. I'm colourblind, too (though, I don't believe to your extent).

I think it comes down to a Germanic/Romantic difference. The Romantic languages went with the original English, daltonism, while the Germanic language (including English) chose word building with color + blindness in their languages.

Which languages are romantic?
Italian, Spanish, French... Commonly referred to as the 'romance languages'.

French is the language of 'lurve'. English the language of the practical man - No sex please, we're British.
