I've heard Saint Paddy's day being bandied about a lot too. I won't stand for it. To me it's either ' Saint Patrick's day' or 'Paddy's day.'

Ah the poor Americans, geography has never been their strongest suit. Mention that canada is part of the US sometime and see how they like it!

I think the closer equivalent in saying the US is a part of the UK. Or Spain. Or France. Or Russia. Depends on where they live.
