It *is* corn. "Corn" in british english is generic for grain and often
applied primarily to wheat. Hence they use the more or less original
designation for what in the u.s. is called "corn," namely, "maize." The
word "corn" is always a hassle in teaching english lit classes in the
united states -- as I suppose it is in England for teachers of
American Lit.
