Language is of course an ever-evolving thing, but I believe that,
according to most English dictionaries: "foreign" = anything of another
nationality, culture, belief (when applied to people); "international" =
concerning the relationship between two nations. 

Hence: "the foreign office", "foreign affairs", "foreign correspondent".
And: "international relations", "international diplomacy".

In modern corporate English, "international" seems to refer to a whole host
of things. Don't get me started on corporate-speak.

So, what is this list all about?
