Just because a word is used in another language, does not mean it belongs to that language, as stated in wiki schadenfreude is merly a loanword, and it does NOT belong into the english language ...
all the ones you named are GERMAN words, just because you use them in english does not mean they are english words .. i dont claim that whenever i use "shit" or "fuck" that those are german words, just because i and millions others use them on a daily basis ...

Schadenfreude = English word. It's in the English dictionary, I don't know how more plain and simple it can get.
Guys, we can't call them geese anymore. The Germans called and they want their ablaut back; we're going to have to call them gooses.
