The Irish hate that we call it St. Patty’s. It’s St. Paddy. From Merriam-Webster: St. Patrick's Day can be referred to in informal contexts as “St. Paddy's Day.” Paddy is the shortened form of the original Irish spelling of Patrick, which is Pádraig, and for this reason is usually preferred over “St. Patty's Day,” which could also be mistaken for the shortened form of the name Patricia.

The Boston Irish do not hate that March 17 is called St. Patty's Day. Not at all.

Universally? Are you sure? Maybe the Southies don’t know the story. Ain’t nobody named Patrick who wants to be called Patty on those mean streets.

Upon the summer night.

We'll leave this worldly time,

On his winged flight.

So I did Google it and still had questions because there’s 5000 parades for St Paddy’s, that’s why I asked it here.

That’s a joke and honestly I don’t have a side in this debate.
