By region/country, what is the primary meaning of "corn"?

Asked by jaytkay (25810points) September 15th, 2010

In the US, corn means maize. There is no question what plant is involved when people say “corn”.

In books I see it used as “our primary food grain”, usually wheat. But I read a lot of history, so I think this might have changed.

What is “corn” for English speakers in the UK, Canada, S Asia, Australia, New Zealand, elsewhere.
