Word of the week: Agreeance

Can we all agree on this?

October 24, 2017 at 6:29PM

Definition: When two or more people share the same opinion (Merriam-Webster Online).

Sample usage: "Do we have agreeance that I'm making up words on the spot, producing annoyance?"

Popularity: There's no reason to adopt new words when the old versions are still in circulation and understood by all — and everyone's in agreement about that.
