Define Agreeance

I guess it depends where you are from. From a thread on Urban Dictionary:
"Here in New Zealand we use the word agreeance...along with many other words deemed as being 'out of date' these days....as far as I'm concerned...if I can use it and everyone knows what I'm talking about...and I can do a search on google...and it doesn't come up saying 'did you mean agreement?' and it was first used as far back as 1540..then its definately a word."
Though the thread goes on to explore other issues about the word and its usage by Fred Durst, as well -- it would appear that the people there are definitely NOT in agreeance! LOL!

i was going to say that. maybe it's replaced with agreement now-a-days. like, we're in agreeance or we're in agreement.

It's like the word 'thou' that's evolved to 'you'. Our language has become more simplistic over the years. After all, why use a big word when a diminutive one will do??

I have never even heard of the word, so are you sure it was ever in there?
Do you mean AGREEMENT ?
