[TUT] Need vs. Want
 

This is intended to help those who can't differentiate between when to use the word NEED and the word WANT.

So often, you see people who are requesting a certain plugin or modification to a plugin and they say:

when what they really mean is:

It is understandable that these two words often get confused, so I hope this short Tutorial helps you understand when to use the correct word.

A need is something that you have to have; something that you literally may not be able to live with out. A good example of this is food. If you don't eat, you won't survive for long. Many people have gone days without eating, but they eventually either ate food, or died.

A want is something that you would like to have, maybe even something that would be good to have, but not something that going without will cause you to cease existing. A good example of this would be a requested plugin. Now, some people may argue that a certain plugin would be a need because they think they can't do without it, but you don't need a plugin to survive. You do need to eat.

So, next time you think you need something that is more of a want, please, go get yourself some :bacon!: because that is something that no man (or woman) can do without!

Hope this helps!!
