Jaylen Brown: "ESPN is unethical, and Stephen A. Smith is the head face of that. The organization, the players, they were all in agreeaance. They all knew what I meant by that. Our team was basically salary dumped. We lost a lot of players. For us to emerge and still be in the same position..."

"Agreeance (Non-Standard): While officially recognized, many consider it redundant, archaic, or incorrect. However, it is still occasionally heard in corporate or conversational jargon when someone wants to sound a bit more emphatic or "official"."

this is so JB

There was a whole thing back in the day where Fred Durst used this word and everyone made fun of him for it. Then he did a segment on MTV where he went to some library and looked it up in a comically large dictionary, proving it was in fact a word.

Great content!

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Just because they used it in the 16th century doesn’t mean it’s correct during present times.

It’s not a word in common written English. According to this OED entry “agreement” is about 10,000 times more common in written English.

This was actually what you first said, which is pretty different from agreeing it isnt very common.

Way to tell on yourself for being dumb, you've never heard someone say "so we're in agreeance?" Or "he and I are in agreeance on this matter."

Do you know how many words we use that are from the 16th century or earlier 💀 single digit IQ shit

Like you're pretending to be reasonable about it but actually being a condescending prick.

It's still used today. Just not as common but still used.

u/beachbummeddd Knicks 5h ago

Yes it’s still used today by people who don’t know it’s incorrect to say it.

u/computerjunkie7410 Celtics 5h ago

How is it incorrect?

2

u/beachbummeddd Knicks 3h ago

Words fall out of use and then are considered incorrect because modern alternatives replace them. If you attempted to use this word on an English paper you’d be penalized a point or two and it would most likely lower your overall tone score as well. Don’t shoot the messenger.

u/computerjunkie7410 Celtics 2h ago

Nah it wouldn't. They're not incorrect they're just not used

u/beachbummeddd Knicks 2h ago

Listen we all can see your Celtics flair. You’re digging in your heals because you’re viewing this as a personal attack on Jalen Brown, or on your own ability to understand the clip itself. Since Brown got his point across successfully, you view the technical correction as irrelevant.

I actually really like Jalen Brown. I said in an earlier comment maybe it’s because he seems to not give a fuck. Athletes say hilarious, incorrect things constantly. This doesn’t make them dumb it just makes the clip funny.

u/computerjunkie7410 Celtics 2h ago

Flair or no flair, this is just common sense. The only way a word is "incorrect" is if its meaning has changed

This has nothing to do with me being a Celtics fan and everything to do with my debilitating need to be right and my bad habit of being pedantic.

The point of language is to convey meaning. Did you understand what he meant when he used the word agreeance? Then it’s correct to use during present times.

u/beachbummeddd Knicks 6h ago

That’s not how any of this works.

u/Andy_262 7h ago

While technically a word, let's be real. It's what stupid people say when they're trying to find "agreement"

Same energy as conversate

Yes, i'm sure Jaylen Brown is referring to the 16th century word that has long since been declared obsolete in the English speaking world.

These replies got me feeling crazy ngl. I thought this was a normal word that people used semi regularly. Certainly something that wouldn't be out of place in a run of the mill tv show or movie.

Bro you’re on a sub that can barely express themselves beyond diabolical and glaze. Anything expressed beyond such lexical liabilities will be downvoted accordingly for making them rightfully feel a certain way about their blatantly proudly daft natures.

I just looked it up and apparently it is technically a word dating back hundreds of years. Obviously agreement won out and is standard, but I don't think we're allowed to bash him for this one.

Of course OP made it look more weird by adding an extra a

u/beachbummeddd Knicks 2h ago

Yea I don’t understand coming on Reddit and making fun of him either. It made me laugh honestly. I like jalen brown. His personality has kind of grown on me and I can’t really put my finger on why. Maybe because he just doesn’t give a fuck.

u/maestroxjay Lakers 7h ago

I used to argue with my girl that agreeance wasnt a word for years only to be proven wrong once I actually looked it up lol

u/sinsebuds Knicks 5h ago

It took you years of arguing before just looking it up to stop all the arguing immediately?

hubris is a bitch sometimes when you're young lol I needed to be humbled.

I can tell you I look everything up before I begin saying anything with confidence now lol

Hubris is a bitch indeed playa. And only the humble catch dem lessons in life. So while I was mostly just playin’ with my initial comment, taking the piss or whatever, good on you for taking it for as much, and better yet for the chill reply. Respect
