my embarrassing word usage for the day

i just sent an email to someone in which i said "we are all in agreeance".
Then i was like hey self that sounds weird, but i couldn't think of what
word i would want to use instead. I tried to look it up on dictionary.com
but for some reason the connection was too slow so i went ahead and sent
it. then when the dictionary.com page finally loaded it said:

Main Entry: agreeance
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: the act of agreeing
Example: Usage of the site constitutes agreeance with these terms.
Usage: considered obsolete and a bastardization of 'agreement'

that was embarrassing huh. grad school is too hard i'm dumm and i use
obsolete bastardized words. whatever that means.


Comments:
i dont even think you are allowed to say"bastardized"-what would pa ingalls say? tm
 
he would say "there there halfpint" or something i think. and then whip me. besides if it's in the dictionary, i'm allowed to say it!

r a e d y
 
i do not think paw would ever whip anybody, least of all half pint, little house was a family program. anyway at least you didn't say something like "i iterated the point"
