 "In this usage and throughout this article, "corn" has the original meaning
 of any grain, particularly wheat <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat>. In
 Britain, unlike in North America<
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America>,
 the term "corn" retains its historical meaning of "grain" (the kernel), and
 implies the primary grain crop of a country, which in Britain was wheat or
 oats, rather than maize <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize> (In the
 Americas <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas> "corn" means "maize"
 because maize is the primary grain grown in the Americas.
 Rice<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice>is the corn of
 China <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China> and
 India<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India>
