Why are people from Canada called Canadian but people from America are called American?

What happened to the missing 'i' ?

Never mind that - I want someone to explain how you get Liverpudlian from Liverpool.

@rinkydinkydoink I'll look into it.

Etymology is a lovely thing.

It might take a while. :)

Us American's gave it back to the British after the American Revolution so they could spell Britton and remain British!

Cause they named their country Canada first and Canadan sounds like the word for a crappy beverage.
