Schemantics shmantics...it's an American Philosophy. I apologize if I "included" all the Americans that don't feel they should included in this group (it's not a bad thing, trust me. It helped us win WWII). All in all, our [American] attitudes are pretty much pragmatic.
Charles S. Peirce and William James (Americans) developed the Philosophy therefore it is American.
Now answer the damn question! I'm pleased that this thread actually made it this far, I figured most adult webmasters were techno-geeks and had no concept of philosophy.
