Absolutely. I'm an ESL teacher in Korea, and getting my students to use prepositions properly is a significant portion of my job. The difference between something like "He is coming to you." and "He is coming for you." isn't obvious at all if you think about it, but there are definitely proper and improper use cases for them.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
