I know I spelled it correctly because I looked it up.
Not sure if I can pronounce it…however.
Nonetheless, I think it's a great word. Of course, most of us don't/won't/can't admit to the feeling of schadenfreude, let alone to try to use it in a sentence.

But, it seems to me if we have a little recap of the past couple of months we can agree that even if we don't derive enjoyment (it does feel wrong, doesn't it?) from others troubles, there is a tad bit of snarkiness…when thinking about the following individuals, isn't there?

Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney, George W, Mark Sanford, to name a few, in the political arena

Bernie Madoff, Weizhen Tang, Clelia Flores, Jeffrey Guidi, Gary Armitage, James Koenig in the financial world.

And, I am sure that you have your own lists, which I would personally and no doubt gleefully love to hear about.
