About a century ago in the US, "common millet" apparently was equated to foxtail millet. Will add this info if can find source again. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Common_millet --A12n (talk) 16:31, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Per the above, added mention of other uses of the term, as well as a new translations subsection giving literal translations (just found an 1896 Italian dictionary (p. 33) referencing miglio comune as Holcus spicatus (an old designation for Pennisetum glaucum). The page will need more work to clarify, and if necessary provide references.--A12n (talk) 00:37, 2 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
