It's one of the biggest pet peeves of the Irish: when some eejit calls it Patty's Day and not Paddy's Day. If you ever wished you could just have a sign that showed the difference, we have found it for you... and it's gas.
Yes, we love that you enjoy "Patty's Day" but please, would you get it right? For the love of God? It's not too much to ask. The talented peeps over at Twisted Doodles made this diagram to perfectly show the difference between these two names:

These people also had the right idea:
People who call St Patricks day "St Pattys day" should not be allowed to celebrate it. Its "Paddys" or "st patricks day" #paddynotpatty ☘

Now go and print this out and shove it in peoples' faces. Best to arm yourself with quite a few for Patty's Paddy's Day.
