I'm surprised at the unfamiliarity with this word.

You don't describe something as "glee" or say "I feel glee".

You do something with glee.

For example, "She clapped her hands gleefully". Or "I jumped with glee".

It's a great word and I like it. I don't often act gleefully, but when I do I certainly notice it.

Perhaps we should start a thread on uncommonly used, but sorely missed, words? I should rather like that.
