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:
Code:
Please someone help, I NEED this plugin sooo bad!
when what they really mean is:
Code:
Please someone help, I WANT this plugin sooo bad!
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
because that is something that no man (or woman) can do without!
Hope this helps!!
