On Friday I
chided Daniel Skinner of
The Weekly Standard, who
garbled the expression "the die is cast" even as he criticized Fred Durst for apparently making up the word "agreeance" in an anti-war statement at the Grammy Awards. Well, now Matthew Yglesias has interrupted work on his senior thesis to top that: He went to the OED and
discovered that "agreeance" is actually a word. Nice work, Matthew. I got a rejection letter from Harvard many years ago, and all of a sudden I feel I deserved it.
