Massive Irish social event.

People, it is with a heavy heart that I right this. It has come to my attention that people are dishonouring Là le Phadraig.
I know, I know, it is shameful, sickening and downright disrespectful. Contain youselves a moment.
How? How are they desecrating the most important day in the Irish social calender?
St. Patty's.
That's right. Patty. I have seen people who use this foul bastardisation freely. It must be stopped, before the minds of the people are completely corrupted.
Firstly, St. Patrick's Day, though celebrated internationally, is an Irish day. And, in keeping with the Irish traditions, one must observe this nugget of Irish culture.
The correct name, given to the day by the Irish people themselves, was Là le Phadraig, which means The Day Of Patrick in English. When Patrick came to Ireland in 431AD, the country was pure Gaelic. That's right. We didn't always speak English.
