Why do some people prefer Quebecer over Quebecois, when reporting on current events in Quebec in English?

[–] zaphod@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Québécois is the French denonym, Quebecer is English, some people prefer the French name.

I think Quebecer is a noun, but Quebecois is an adjective? Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken...

Quebecer it's just our demonym in English.
