--- Since Quine was responded by Grice and Strawson in American English ("In defense of a dogma") implicatura has fared well there.
On the whole, American teenagers opt out of the co-operative principle.
"WoW" does not mean "Way of Words", but something they ejaculate almost every other conversational "move", to use Grice's parlance.
The litotes and meiosis is also unknown, as the truth-value of the "Big Mac" may testify.
There are lots of maxims, and minims, too. They are on the conventional side, and won't detach an implicature unless they have to.
They are good at the expliciture of the logical form -- but they use American Hilbertianisms, rather than your average Whitehead and Russell.
Grice taught Californians for decades (two to be precise) and he educated a few!
