It took me several years to realize that Canadians were from Canada. Specifically, I didn't connect the spoken words. I was fine with the written words.
While traveling I convinced a lot of people that Canadia is the official name of the country, Canada is just commonly used because it's easier to say.
Did you wonder why no one is mentioning Canadaians?
Took me three tries to pronounce this. Love it!
Not really. I live in a part of the US where the topic of Canada doesn't come up often enough in conversation for me to have questioned it.
