I can see where the confusion may have occurred.
The correct spelling is British with one 't'. However, in the 1776 Declaration of Independence it is spelt Brittish. This is a mis-spelling.

Did they actually bother to look it up?
Any dictionary (or in fact a simple Google search) would show that the correct spelling is 'British'. Obvious really, since it derives from 'Britain' (again, one 't')

British. With one T. Even in the United States we agree on this.
