A friendly reminder to anyone who calls March 17th 'Patty's Day'

DON'T.

There is nothing that raises our patriotic hackles more than hearing St. Patrick's Day referred to as 'Patty's Day'.

Even if you're not a particular fan of the day and you plan to stay in and grumble about the parade, the crowds and the boozing, it’s one that's guaranteed to annoy.

Often our well-meaning American brethren are the culprits and to them, we say, thank you for the enthusiasm but please stop saying it.

The national cartoonist of record (as designated by us), Twisted Doodles has made this helpful guide on the difference between Patty and Paddy.
