Dave,

Don't let the desire to bash Steve carry you away.

As the descendent of more Irish than you could count
on your fingers even if you had binary digits, from folks
who left County Monaghan in 1627 to great-grandparents
who left A Habegh Lichagh in County Kerry in the
1880's and a pair of uncles who had to flee a death
sentence after The Easter Uprising, I have the distinct
pleasure of informing you that the Erse (Irish, or Gaelic)
name that is Anglicized as Patrick is PADRIC.

That third letter isn't a T-sound exactly but it isn't a
D-sound exactly either, and typing this all in the Roman
alphabet is a mistake, too, because Gaelic has its OWN
alphabet, so we just have to limp along with Anglicizations
that are only partially transliterative of the original. I would
use Gaelic in this email except it would then be a violation
of List Rules and you would need to have the Extended
Latin 8 character set installed on your PC (ISO/IEC
8859-14) and a font that implemented it.

Dave, give it rest. Have another beer. I do not doubt
that one could find a Wild Gael who is willing to
quarrel about a name, but one can find a Wild Gael
who is willing to quarrel about almost anything. No,
make that anything. Period.

In a word, nobody cares.

Besides, Saint PADRIC was a Welshman, anyway...


Sterling K. Webb,
Who has a great long Gaelic name all his owen, which
he nivier uses except as his password for things like
banks, credit cards, and PayPal, because that way he
knows that he'll nivir be robbed ner swindled by any
but a Good Irish Thief! Or, possibly someone from
the West of the Kingdom of the Scots, or an Eccentric
Welshman or maybe even a Sociopathic Polyglot...

Steve,

As always, you need to be a lot more careful in how you word your emails.
The term "paddy" is a dispariging term (an offensive term) for a person of
Irish descent.

Dave
