So you were unable to decipher what I meant by "agreeance" ? (Is there a better word?) I knew what you meant by cromulent! If The Simpsons uses the word "agreeance", will you then let me use it? =)
To the extent that "cromulent" has joined the English language, it serves a specific and unique purpose. While it overlaps with other words - "legitimate", for example - I am not aware of any other words that mean "valid, as in a disputed word". Even if there are others, which would not shock me, cromulent is not merely a bastardization of them, but a new synonym (as in "huge" and "enormous", for example). It enriches the language.
To the extent that "agreeance" is a word, it means exactly the same thing as another, virtually identical, word (as "ironical" and "competency", for example). It adds nothing but tears.
