PIC: This brilliant graph reminds Americans that it’s NOT called St. Patty’s Day

Colm Boohig

A friendly reminder to our dear friends.

St. Patrick’s Day really is a global celebration, nowhere more so than in America, where the country goes especially Irish-mad for one day of the year.

We’re all about their enthusiasm and affectionate towards us, the feeling is very much mutual, but there is one little issue that’s a wee bit grinding.

As every single Irish person will remind you, Paddy’s Day cannot also be called Patty’s Day. It just doesn’t work.

Luckily, the very talented Irish artist behind Twisteddoodles has illustrated this salient point with a fantastic graph that demonstrates the subtle, yet crucial, differences.

Take a look…

We’re going to carry this around with us now.
