Greetings fellow Wizzers Wizards Authors,
I just wanted to pop by and say hi to the forums, I'm brand new here to Wizzley and looking forward to getting started. I've been poking around for a few days and it looks like a really great site with a wonderful community; I see a lot of familiar faces here already.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but don't rule out malice.

Welcome Love the name! Perhaps you could clear something up for me. I can't for the life of me get a clear definition/understanding of the word pragmatic/pragmatist... care to enlighten me :)?

Pragmatic is analogous to practical, but it usually relates to experience. For example:
If you had six kids, you would buy a minivan rather than a sports car, because you know it would be more practical.
However, if you had owned a minivan before, and knew that it can be a pain to get car seats in and out of, then you might be more pragmatic and get an SUV instead.
Pragmatic is always practical; practical isn't always pragmatic.
Thanks for the welcome

You just made 6 years of frustration disappear my friend. Try as I might to get anyone to give me an explanation that perfect I couldn't- thank you. It all started with a deck of Tarot cards and the one with the pragmatic figure on it kept coming up. I knew what it meant by the other cards and how it related but when heard elsewhere I couldn't define it... just one of those terms you understand but can't define... Welcome aboard, I can already tell your going bring a lot to the table here :)
