Do you have proof? I can't believe it the infrastructure to have pounds of shyt driven to you would be insane. Do you understand how ridiculous this sounds lmao

Yeah—the word "corn" in older English just means "grain" e.g. wheat or barley or oats or whatever they had. I'm not 100% sure but I think in the UK they call corn "maize" like it is called in many other languages.

...and the the word maze is corn in Spanish, and I think it originally referred crops not specifically corn.

It's a weird gotcha thread cause every version so far on google says grain and wine.

The modern day Bible is translation of a translation of a translation of a dead language,

This is true.

I remember being forced to stay after to clean up after Sunday school for pointing out shyt like this.

The modern day Bible is translation of a translation of a translation of a dead language, witten by people who wants to make the book relevant to a modern audience.

How is a 1611 translation "modern"?

Modern Bibles are translated directly from the original languages. First they put together all the best documented manuscripts to form the critical edition in the original language, then they translate that as accurately as possible.


"The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) is a translation of the Bible in contemporary English. Published in 1989 by the National Council of Churches, the NRSV was created by an ecumenical committee of scholars comprising about thirty members. The NRSV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts."



And it's a weird gotcha anyway cause corn just means "grain" in old English. There's no problem with the translation, it's just that our language changes over time, which is why new translations are needed every so often.

The KJV also calls armpits "armholes", which is hilarious.

I wish @thekingman was still here so he could recycle this shyt in his own posts but sincerely.

"Corn" itself, though, has much deeper roots, going back to the misty prehistory of Proto-Indo-European. Both "grain" and "corn" come from the same very old PIE word, though there are two options for which that might be: either ger-, meaning "worn down," or gher-, meaning "matured." That stem wound up through Latin, on the one hand, which kept the G and gave us today's "grain," and through the Germanic languages, which, in their no-nonsense way, turned the G into a hard K, and gave us "corn."

I think it's this one. All the old world plants they called "corn" were processed by grinding with stones (leading to dental damage we still find in their skulls).
