From today’s paper, #3 of 5:
    The Paulson plan offers a decent prospect. Yes, some bankers will remain in business when they wouldn't otherwise, but Schadenfreude is not a policy and revenge against what's left of Wall Street isn't worth the potential harm to innocents on Main Street.

Okay, Shu. No you must write them a letter telling them to change it to "epicaricacy." Wink

Many people use and recognize "Schaddnfreude" but only one, "epicaricacy."

Oh, of course I was just kidding, Proofreader. I hear you!

On the other hand, "epicaricacy" gets 8,830 hits on Google, and clearly they're not all from us. Our site doesn't appear until page 3. So there! Smile

I used it in a speech only last week. Nobody asked what it meant - but then few people like to admit to their ignorance!
