CPF is not the place to discuss Candian vs. American healthcare. I'm not sure what is, but it's not CPF.

Yes. Cease this nonsense before (heaven forbid) an intelligent discussion breaks out.

Or, for grammar's sake, "From which country am I?"
I've often been confused a-boat it myself. I mean, if Canadians are from Canada oughtn't they to be called Canadans? I have never heard Americans called Americians. What's up with adding the i and emphasizing the middle part of the name instead of the first sylable? And where ever did they get the name Canuck? Is "uck" some kind of secret French thing 'cause it's usually so cold up there, eh?

I asked that question a while ago in this thread.

Yes, it is a French thing. The French word for Canadian is "canadien" (or "canadienne" if you're a member of the fairer sex). Besides, "Canadians" rolls off the tounge much more trippingly than does "Canadans".
While we're on this topic, what's up with "Texans", "Floridians", and "Oregonians"? Shouldn't it be "Texasans", "Floridans", and "people from Oregon"?

Now, duckies, play nice, or I'll come down there and install nationalized wheat, egg, and milk boards, too.

Rach will forever be a Duvallian. No passport, greencard or license can change that. She will forever think that Camaros, Pabst Blue Ribbon and flannel make for a kick ass Friday night.

It was certainly not of British origin. Otherwise it would be said similar to "I am Artur, King of the Britains."

Alright, since I'm pretty sure this is not *technically* grammatically correct, let's try this redition, Rachael: "From which country do I hail?" That has a much better flow. But then it's CPF-- who cares about grammar, really.

I forgot how close you lived to Taylor's Ridge. Yeah, you can be into Elkies and pisswater, but that's the Californian in you.
