English is a funny language

Just thinking:
  • If people from Burma are Burmese, why aren't people from Rome Romese? And people from India Indiese?
  • If Javanese come from Java, why don't Japanese come from Japa?
  • If Finns come from Finland, why don't Ires come from Ireland? And Ices from Iceland?
Crazy language, huh?

P.S. Does anyone know why bullet points appear correctly in a preview of Blogger posts, but not in the final post?
