Today at my day job someone yelled “Why must you be so pragmatic?” Now I thought I understood the word and in my opinion being pragmatic is not a bad thing. However, before I responded I went and looked up the word.
I even found a version online that I think explains it well.
So I am feeling pretty good about myself anyway. Pragmatic seems like a pretty good thing. Then I went and looked up the antonyms of the word and I was not so happy.
So check out the word ~ does it give you a positive or negative vibe?

Some of these could give either a positive or negative vibe. The context of a word’s usage would be the determiner. Others, for me at least, were clear cut.
A great poll Trenna. I enjoyed this one!
Hi Trenna, I don’t really get why you’re not so happy after finding the antonyms of the word. The link isn’t working for me, so that may have something to do with it!
