As St. Patrick's Day approaches, I thought it worth re-posting a blurb from around this same time last year, when I was fresh off the boat (well, plane) from spending a second Paddy's Day in Dublin.
So, as a recap, they would say either "St. Patrick's Day" OR "Paddy's Day", but never "St. Paddy's Day".
Also worth noting is that the Irish don't generally spell the shortened "Patrick" with a double T (at least not in this context). I know...it defies the grammarian's logic, but it's their saint, not mine.
So, any combination of the above that includes "...Patty..." is downright unthinkable.
Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just trying to be a blessing.
Slainte, y'all!!
