'St. Paddy's Day' is usually preferred over 'St. Patty's Day.'
'Paddy' is the shortened form of the original Irish spelling of 'Patrick,' which is 'Pádraig.'

It takes more than having two hands to be a good pianist. It takes more than knowing two languages to be a good translator.
Cultural knowledge, excellent writing and subject expertise are just some of the skills that set a translator apart.
