pronouncing Schadenfreude /ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/ German pronunciation [ˈʃaːdənˌfʁɔʏdə] (don't ask me!?) [could it just be the secondary accent in G?] listen (to U.S.)

I listened to Merriam Webster. Not bad at all, just like an American speaking German.

If we are taking a poll....I like epicaricacy word best. ... epi does sound slightly creepy when used in normal conversation (yes I did try and shoehorn it in!) And do you remember the sentence you popped it into, Bex? I'd love to know. ... many apologies for not having enough linguistic credentials to add much to epi's origin, but it was fun to read  ditto

All that goes for me as well, but I do learn from the discussions
and that in itself it a good reason to stay on the site. I wish
I'd pursued linguistics decades ago. Now I just want to learn
slowly and eagerly.
