>Lovely example of the American use of "international" to mean >"foreign"... I believe this usage arose from a desire not to give offense and is of quite recent vintage, the word foreign having acquired a nasty set of connotations during the 50's early 60's; it is first in reading articles, books etc. from the late seventies that I notice International replacing foreign. International, although an Americanism, has I think been at least somewhat appropriated by proper British Firms, at least in marketing texts and such like. Is the Foreign Office still called the Foreign Office? Jeff Keaton wrote: >My guess is that anyone, in any country, who says "international" means >"anywhere but here". Sure, Like an International Lover. Actually I think what was once International may be moving into Multinational. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
