Agreeance is perfectly acceptable as an idiomatic and regional alternative to the term,
agreement in some areas of Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley where the term,
yoonz, is used to designate the personal pronoun, "you," as in the Southern construction,
"y'all."Frank Sheed, General Factotum and Busy Body...

Hmmm ... it sounds like the Founding Fathers would have said they were in agreeance.
Yoo having a nice day, Frank? It’s cold and raining here, and the little boys keep opening the windows because (as far as I can tell) they are cats. Pat, in fact, just slithered down the stairs wailing that he’s not a boy. Or a girl.
Somebody shoot me?

Dear Frank Sheed,
If you’re playing ME in Scrabble, you have as much chance of getting “yoonz” or “y’all” in as you have of getting “agreeance.”
Which is to say, none.
