Using the word "pragmatic" instead of "practical"

Sometimes there are two synonyms that seem to be so similar, that it makes me wonder why both need to exist. I know there must be a reason why pragmatic and practical both exist, but I can't see why. Not to be negative, but when people say pragmatic, I think they just sound pretentious. School me on this. What is the main distinction between these words.

People are pragmatic. Actions are practical.
Maybe? I wouldn't call a person practical.

Hmm, what you say sounds right. But I hear people use those words in the exact opposite way too.
