What is the difference between Nutzer and Benutzer?

I've heard that "Benutzer" has a connotation of being more general and "Nutzer" has a connotation of being more technical, but that's probably nothing formal.

I don't really understand the translation behind the word 'Nutzer" i get it, it means user.

But here in the states, If i say he/she is a user. It usually they use/abuse drugs and such.

So what would "Nutzer" mean in German, like if i was a "Nutzer" what does it mean.

And here in the States i am a "user" of software programs and to know how to use them i have a "user's guide". This is just one of many possible examples.

R at the end of the word should sound similar to how British English sounds compared to American English. Like "playah" instead of "player"

I really could not hear the R at the end of Nutzer.

Der Nutzer???? a very strange word... it really should be der Benutzer,

In Australia, we would say the [something] user unless we meant drug user. But "The user reads" makes no sense. Perhaps 'the computer user is actually reading the manual'?
