Duplicate of "Oriented" vs. "orientated" | |
| Oct 27, 2014 at 18:02 | comment | added | Christian Ziebarth | I hear a lot of Americans say "disorientated" when I'm pretty sure they mean "disoriented." I believe this is a case of thinking that making a word more complicated than it needs to be somehow makes it correct. | |

| Oct 27, 2014 at 13:16 | comment | added | RegDwigнt | “Oriented” vs. “orientated”, regarding “Oriented” vs. “orientated”, Is orientate a word? Does it matter where you are when using it? Orienting or orientating? | |
| Oct 27, 2014 at 13:13 | comment | added | ndugger | @tchrist Hmm, very interestingish. | |
| Oct 27, 2014 at 13:12 | comment | added | tchrist♦ | No, the British simply like to use the lengthenated and more redundantized version of the normal word. It’s basically all accidentalish that it worked out this way. | |
