One of my friends turned into a Pragmatics Criminal. I just awarded him that label.
One day I chat with him and he typed:

"Watcha doin' tmorrow?"

Normal people would think that the question was some sort of an invitation for a get-together.I asked him directly about that:

"So u asked to do sumthin'?"

"No. I got no plans."

LOL


And there we were in a car.He said that he promised to meet our friend. But because of the traffic and all that, it was impossible for us to meet him. And he suddenly suffered from a loss of interest in chatting w that friend. And so he texted him:

"We are in PS."

I asked: "That's it?"

"Yes."

I told him that such question will make him confused especially earlier we planned to visit his place.
He didn't think that way, though.
I said that if I were that guy, I would probably asked him directly:
"Do you want me to go there?"

And he disagreed with me. Then we got into this argument about his way of abusing language. I ended up giving him a lecture on PRAGMATICS.

And he got all confused about it and I bet he thought that I was a freak,...while actually he could just think of me as someone whose work deals with language.

I opened my file on his words to me back in the past saying things that were actually leading to something but somehow--the fact that he was being himself--PRAGMATICS CRIMINAL--ended up in: "They are just questions/ statements."
LOL

I do think that this friend of mine is smart and all that but I guess if he IS that smart in language, I would end up jobless.
LOL.
