It seems what you're pointing out is coming out a lot in this thread. As a solely English speaker (with very little French/Spanish), it's actually a bit of a novel concept for me.

I'm curious though:

Do you find it particularly hard to differentiate or clarify between you having 0 want or negative want?

E.g. "I want x" = 5 want

But

"I don't want x" = 0 want or -5 want???

It would be convenient to have an unwant in common English. However plenty of children manage to express their utter -10 want of vegetables rather too well. ;)
