In British terms corn refers to any grain, wheat, barley, rye or oats. Your American version is maize which yields what we now know as corn on the cob.

Corn is the germanic word/cognate to represent grain, of any kind. Specifically the grain itself. For instance, here in Sweden we call Corn(american vernacular) Majskorn or Maize Corn (maize grain). We also refer to rye corn, wheat corn, and so on.

I am preparing for a degree in English, and we have two themes this year in modern history: 1-Protest movements, political dissent, and social struggles in Great Britain (1811-1914) 2-The United States and Latin America, from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Barack Obama (1933-2017) If you'd like to make videos on these topics, please know that French students will be delighted!

I think some context around the concept of a politician's role at this time would help. Part of the reason for the issues with the House of Commons was that being an MP was seen as a service of sorts, and they were unpaid as it was assumed that any Member of the House of Commons would be independently wealthy, and thus be able to rely on passive income.

In western eEurope staple foods like wheat, rye, barley and so on is known as corn, korn or some derivate. Americans call maize "corn" because it fills some of the same functions. Adam Smith mentions this in book III of his "Wealth of Nations" IIRC.

To comment on your corn spiel - the Latin word "frumentum" means both corn and grain interchangeably in Laitn texts, which eventually evolved to the British usage commonly being termed corn, while Americans would refer to it as grain. Glad my AP Latin usage is doing me some good even if its for Euro lol

Yeah... The funniest thing about this one is that I'm thinking as much about my British audience here as I am about my American audience as I make this series. Went a little more in depth than what my American audience probably wants but then again, it's not their history. Thought I'd start strong with a s/o to Shetland but then I said England right before the s/o instead of Britain! Honored that people in the UK are watching these lectures. Definitely plan to do a few more British history lecture series before it's all said and done!

The House of Lords is out of date and should, like the electoral college, be abolished. Instead we should have a chamber of elected members based on the recommendations of a Parliamentary investigation of how best to create the new chamber. Also the House of Lords doesn’t just consist of hereditary Lords and the Church but also life peers given the honour as a reward for service to the country in some way such as successful businessmen, union leaders, politicians, scientists and others.

Okay, Professor Tom, here's the skinny on "corn" as in the "Corn Laws." Historically, sometimes a word goes from a general meaning to a very specific one. For example, "deer" at one time meant any wild animal - as its German cognate, "das Tier," still does - but over the centuries came to refer specifically to "Bambi." Likewise, right into the 19th century, "corn" was a generic English word for grain - wheat and barley were corns, for example - but in America was already limited in meaning to the grain that the rest of the world still tends to call "maize." I hope that helps.
