My word is kinda like down-to earth or realistic, buts its different because it seems to have a more safistiated flavor to it. It's also like "the effect" of something. ex. The effects of pollution.

I would give Pragmatic a 3 out of 5 stars because It isn't a hard word to understand once you know It, and It makes sense. I don't know how much It Is used in other situations, but It seems to be used In business a lot.
