Psychology: People who do not understand sentences literally. To shake off the communication with it so that one must explain or repeat his own sentence again. What do you call these? I believe we would need a stigma for a definition of a disease. How is this effect called in psychology?
Example from a Chat:

The first example sounds like a mild form of Semantic Pragmatic Disorder, where there is a problem with the part of the brain which works out the meaning of words and how they are used. The second one, where aphasia depends on context, would usually be described as Selective Mutism (the element of choice which this name implies is misleading!)
Either of them can occur on their own, but they are often a part of some wider condition; for example, they are both common for autistic people (I have Asperger's syndrome, hence my knowledge of them.) Your first example is interesting because there are two possibilities for the word "Windows":

- 1) The person just does not understand the word "Windows".
2) The context is misunderstood, so the person thinks of the windows of a house, or "the Windows OS in general" rather than what is really implied; "coding for the Windows platform".
