The truth about corn

It's actually called "Maize":

"Maize" is preferred in formal and scientific usage because it refers specifically to this one grain, unlike "corn", which has a complex variety of meanings that vary by context and geographic region. However, in bulk-trading, people use "corn" only to refer to maize."
