Using multiple versions of jQuery while still calling it like WP likes

I found that it was better for me to use the latest jQuery version (which WordPress loads by default) and to treat the incompatibility issue by modifying the JS plugin files that were incompatible with the latest jQuery version.

Note: The reason I chose this solution is because in most cases, JS plugin incompatibility with newer jQuery versions is a result of a use of a deprecated method or function in the code and usually replacing the call with a call to an existing function/method will solve the issue and exempt you from including redundant jQuery scripts.

Furthermore, if the plugin will get updated in the future, you should have no problem update the one you currently using because the newer version would probably support the latest jQuery version.
