Grammar
With/for
My friend and I are talking about a mutual acquaintence:
" I usually get along with everyone but with her I feel kind of uneasy at times." And
"I usually get along with everyone but for her I feel kind of uneasy at times."
Which preposition is the right one?

I assume you mean "with". "with" means that you feel uneasy when you are in her company. "for" means that you feel uneasy, or worried, that something bad will happen to her (which doesn't fit with the first part of the sentence).

(You'll forgive me if I didn't quite understand your last question. "for" is a ubiquitous word which can be used in very many different ways.)
