| Oct 25, 2019 at 10:43 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | fdb, in the duplicate cited, answered 'According to the OED, the first occurrence of the verb "to orient" is from 1728, of "to orientate" from 1848.' CED gives 'orientate verb [ T usually + adv/prep ] mainly UK ... (also {mainly US} orient) ... '. Thus both 'oriented' and 'orientated' have pedigree and currency. I'm more familiar with 'orientated' in the UK. | |
| Oct 25, 2019 at 10:39 | comment | added | RegDwigнt | In thirty years of being a programmer, this is the very first time I see or hear "object orientated". Never once heard or saw it before. Not even from people who didn't know the first thing about English, or the first thing about programming, or both. But that is not SE's opinion. That is my personal fact. | |
| Oct 25, 2019 at 10:34 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | Possible duplicate of "Oriented" vs. "orientated". I'd say ukayer's answer is the more balanced. The compounding makes little difference to the analysis. However, the omission / inclusion of a hyphen in 'object-orient[at]ed' (also already covered) bears thinking about. | |
