# It's just jealousy from the dull and unimaginitive!

# No they aren't.
Jealousy implies the desire that the current possessor of a good thing should not possess it any more - preferably by handing it to the jealous person. Envy implies that the envious person would be satisfied with having his own, similar, good thing.

# Yep.
And, shockingly, both the parties that use them synonymously and the parties that don't are able to understand each other! Wow!

THEY'RE PREPOSITIONS, NOT POSTPOSITIONS! OH GOD LANGUAGE GETS ME SO MAD
