jeallousy and envy

What makes you jeallous and envious? Also, which gender is the more jeallous/envious?

Also, where is the General Question?

Now, if you were asking what the difference was between jealousy and envy, I’d answer.

I’d probably be happy with the dictionary definitions of these words but often they are confused in usage & people say ‘jealous’ when they mean ‘envy’.
