Autumn is the time for corn mazes, at least in areas that, unlike this one, still have agriculture. This prompted me to think that if corn mazes were planted in countries where corn (Zea mays) is known as “maize”, then corn mazes would be “maize mazes”.
And I thought that maybe I could write a short blog entry about that.
But then I did a little very basic research (i. e. Wikipedia) and discovered that corn mazes in the United Kingdom are indeed known as “maize mazes”, which surprised me, because I had assumed that corn mazes were a uniquely American phenomenon.
At this point, I can only remark that if British Prime Minister Theresa May were to construct her own corn maze, it would be May’s maize maze.
