* = Today's (8/3/98) word from A.Word.A.Day
(http://www.wordsmith.org/awad/) -- Mere coincidence? I think
not.
schadenfreude (SHAAD-n-froiduh) noun
Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.
[German : Schaden, damage (from Middle High German schade, from
Old High
German scado) + Freude, joy, from Middle High German vreude, from
Old High
German frewida, from fro, happy.]
"That accounts for the schadenfreude that many felt when
Microsoft,
somewhat humbled, gave in and licensed Java from Sun after
completely
miscalculating the potential of the Internet."
Steven Titch, Editorial Director, Why we love Java, Telephony,
25 Mar 1996.
