But it was an initial added later in life, unlike Truman for whom it was his actual middle name (Grant's middle name being Ulysses).

In many parts of the UK, the midday meal is still called dinner. The evening meal is tea, and supper is a wee bedtime snack. Have a look at the OED entry for dinner, updated a couple of years3ago.

Yes, especially if the midday meal is cooked. My family (in northern England) tend to use 'lunch' and 'tea' for a sandwich spread, and dinner for a cooked meal wherever it falls in the day, but I don't know how usual that is.

Technically it should be Harry S Truman, with no period after the S, as it's not an abbreviation.

Wayyyy too short imo, I didn't even have time to read all of the questions properly. Granted, trying to figure out how to spell ulysseus (ulysses) took some of my time. In most quizzes I don't struggle for time. I can atleast read all of them, some might be a bit short if you don't know the answer right away however, but well, like I said struggled heavily on time with this one
