Fred Durst, MENSA candidate

SALINE, MICHIGAN  MARCH 11, 2003

Is Fred Durst redeemed?  According to the folks at the Oxford English  Dictionary, "agreeance" is actually a word.  During his Grammy statement, apparently the Limp Bizkit frontman even used it correctly.  The people at the OED did note that the word has not been in popular use since the 1500s.  Instead of asking Durst for forgiveness, we'd like to congratulate him for accidentally stumbling into a correct sentence.

Just to make sure, we reviewed Limp Bizkit's lyric catalog and found no references to the following words, which were also very popular in the roaring 1500s:

I'm not in "agreeance"

SALINE, MI FEBRUARY 24, 2003

During last night's Grammy awards, Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst felt it necessary to make sure we were "all in agreeance" that the looming war with Iraq should be avoided.  Or at least I think that's what he meant. 

For the record, I neither am nor ever will be
"in agreeance" with anything.  For example, I am not in agreeance that the sun rises in the East.  The only thing I come close to being in agreeance on is that agreeance is not an actual word. To that, Fred, I am in absolute agreeance.   Maybe this list will help.

And a side memo to Durst: maybe it is time to get away from the college frat-boy look (t-shirt untucked, with ball cap on backwards)?  How old are you?
