>>"international" - now used predominantly to mean "foreign" (as in "we ship to international addresses", or "international languages"), while you used it in its obsolete meaning

>I take international to mean "between nations".

That's the obsolete meaning I had in mind. Obsolete here, at least. Now it is a PC euphemism for "foreign".

>This is only a foreign forum in that it belongs to a canuck; it's international in that it is used by people of many nations.

>"we ship to international addresses" - you have a point - would probably have no real meaning, or be somewhere in the middle of the ocean in many cases :-)

There's one place I know of that has an international address - a tavern on Croatian-Slovenian border, where the bar is in one country and the kitchen in the other. The border seems to zig-zag between the tables.
