Are sweet corn, sugar corn, and green corn synonyms or something slightly different? Is Indian corn obsolete or just archaic? I'm marking it obs. until somebody knows better. — Hippietrail 15:20, 14 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

"non-US"[edit]

I don't think the term maize is necessarily not used in the US. I've seen it used in US text books to mean what US citizens would otherwise call corn. I think it's more that the term corn is used in the US only to mean maize. Theshibboleth 20:20, 18 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

In Russian also "маис" [mai:s] is used - in Latin American cultural context.

Audio Sample[edit]

I'm not sure if the Audio sample is dialect-free. --94.254.244.132 12:38, 8 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Are you talking about the English audio or the Latvian one? — Ungoliant (falai) 13:03, 8 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
