Carnival of Pecuniary Delights #4 - A Little Definition

The carnival is still new, so I searched for the actual definition of Pecuniary and Delight. Here’s what I found on the web.

Pecuniary \Pe*cun”ia*ry\ (p[-e]*k[=u]n”y[asl]*r[i^]*l[y^]), a.
[L. pecuniarius, fr. pecunia money, orig., property in
cattle, fr. pecus cattle: cf. F. p['e]cuniaire. See Fee,
and cf. Peculiar.]
1. Relating to money; monetary; as, a pecuniary penalty; a
pecuniary reward. –Burke.
[1913 Webster]

Delight \De*light”\, n. [OE. delit, OF. delit, deleit, fr.
delitier, to delight. See Delight, v. t.]
1. A high degree of gratification of mind; a high- wrought
state of pleasurable feeling; lively pleasure; extreme
satisfaction; joy.
[1913 Webster]

So it sounds like the Carnival of Pecuniary Delights consists of money related articles from around the web with an emphasis on satisfaction and gratification. Now let’s take a look at the actual articles (and whether they actually know what the carnival is about :)).
