As an expat in Brazil (even though I'm a permanent resident) I never leave home without a certified copy of my Canada Passport.

That is something I would strongly recommend to any expat. Unless you're embarking on an international trip never carry the original just a certified copy. DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT.

I have not worn a watch for 11 years now ( including my last 2 years of working in the US).聽 Don't聽 miss it and love not being ruled by 'time".聽 However I am sure the thousands of dollars worth watches in my safe deposit box back in the states are lonely

I have not worn a watch for 11 years now

One hot day in Georgetown, Penang, my watch was really rubbing my wrist, so I tossed it into a rubbish bin.
A pedicab driver ran over and caught it before it landed.
I still have a watch, but it's in England so I'm unlikely to ever see it again.

I always leave home without it.

I never had a wristwatch in my whole life (just the same as with TV) - I can afford the luxury of living without it!

I scrapped my TV in the UK as I objected to paying a licence fee, but getting little in return for it.
Satellite TV went first; I got sick of 15 minutes of adverts in every hour, and terrestrial TV was nothing but repeats, so I ditched the TV as well.
The licence people used to call me a liar when I told them I hadn't got a TV, but a simple Anglo Saxon phrase soon told them where to go, and exactly how to get there.
I only have a TV here for the family; I hardly ever watch it.
I do have an LED projector that I hook up to the computer to make my home cinema - that's nice to watch Star trek on, but with no adverts.

Are people not smart because they do things in a different way?

A phone is "smart" if it has more intelligence than its owner.
Unfortunately a very common occurrence.

Would your phone say "smarter than me" or "smarter than I"?

I think it would probably do the other typo.聽 Phones are terrible with contractions.

I'm sure Bob knows, but that was a little humor based on his own self-deprecating joke.聽 Since someone is bound to complain, it was not a personal attack on him or his phone's use of grammar.
