It's just the way the mind works. They are remembering the concept rather than the word. I didn't even notice that they had done it because firecracker and fireworks are the same thing to me. I have a tendency to think Cherry Blossom instead of Sakura, and Electric instead of Lightning - which means it takes me a long time to find the right dragon in a list. And to disagree with my friend above - I suspect that us oldies are more inclined to do it than young people, because we have more associations with the meanings of words.
