Thatās some funny-looking corn. #notallfields
Thatās gonna be an awesome maze when sheās done.
If thatās corn, Iāll eat that dog.
Looks like Barley to me.
Perhaps known as barley corn and hence corn in certain backwater parts of the planet where they use odd words (like maize) for the stuff that should be as high as an elephantās eye.
Rob, please get thyself to a farm post haste.

Sheās jumping up to say āHey, hey! This is some really funny corn! So light and fluffy!ā
Corn just means āwheat, hay, whateverā where Iām from. Iām amaized you colonials donāt know.

That misconception is the cause of few, but those tragically preventable, mythological equestrian fatalities.
Every so often some hero will tame Areion and be all ācool, a horse that can run lightly atop standing cornā. Then SMACK, like hitting a brick wall. The translation calls it ācornā; but the lineage of Poseidon has no effect on new world food crops. Gets them every time.
Like many, I came to gripe āthat aināt cornā. This both defused my gripe and may have taught me something, too. Itās nice to know that this might truly be ācornā.
Like most things, this knowledge is a double-edged sword. I may now worry when ordering food in restaurants in foreign (but English-speaking) places:
āI ordered corn!ā
āSir, that is corn.ā
āUgh.ā
All I can think is āTICKSā
Also if I wasnāt in a hurry Iād post a GIF of that scene from Jurassic park 3 of the raptors hunting in that field
I believe thatās Jurassic Park 2 (watched it last week).
Yes, Iām a pedant.
Corn is the grain you grow:
Or a very baffling crop circle.
Once I was fearless.
Now I dream of velociraptors.
FWIW, my rather pedantic friend from across the pond, once a POM and now a 'Merican, took the time to explain to me that hay was most definitely not straw and vice versa. Vernacular is a wonderfully diverse thing.
Landshark!
Several friends of mine have had Springer Spaniels (which is what that dog looks like.) Very bouncy, not very bright. Looks like this is something theyāre actually good at!
