Today is St. Patrick's Day (I assume all over the world, but I can only speak for the U.S.) and while I'm pretending to be Irish and cooking soda bread and colcannon, I'm also working on a story. It's a good way to spend the day...
Excuse the barging in, but why would you assume St. Patrick's Day is celebrated all over the world? Other than one Irish culture enthusiast I know, most people in my country aren't even aware of the existence of this holiday.
I didn't assume, as I said, I can only speak with any direct knowledge for what happens in the U.S. If it's not a holiday in your country, I'm happy to learn that, but it would help if you said what country you're from.
Sure, I should have clarified where I'm from: Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is s predominantly Muslim country with large Catholic and Orthodox populations, but I don't remember ever seeing any St. Patrick's day celebrations. So when I read, "I assume all over the world..." I scratched my head and thought "But not here, I don't think".
Mostly what I meant was "if it's celebrated, maybe on the same day" as I know even though people share holidays, they're not always on the same date. I do my best not to be too U.S.-centric, and am always happy to learn about other countries and cultures.
Ah, that's clearer then. :) Never mind me, been marking papers all day and it's late and I should be in bed but still have work to do so I'm browsing my reading page while drinking coffee to stay awake. Probably deserve a low score fr reading comprehension fail. :)
