THat's pretty accurate. I especially like when my cell insists that OF COURSE the first letter of the word is correct, hence the rest must be wrong. For example, if i'm writing "finder" but i type "rinder", then it suggests me that the right word could be "rounder", or "reindeer" or even "rain"
In Boy Scouts, I got the firemanship merit badge. Basically, the merit badge is an excuse to hang out with fire fighters for four hours and play with their stuff. I got to do that at 14. Though it was practical when the fire fighters started small controlled fires and we each got to use a fire extinguisher on a real fire.
