Lexicographers are trying to change word Orientate to Orient,

You forgot to take your meds today didn't you?

i oriented myself around the compass

It sounds good, but it's nonsensical, it's not correct grammar. This false sentence which can be corrected supports similarity between orient and orientated.

Lexicograpehrs don't try to change words and if they do they are stupid. They observe the words how they are used and then document that in dictionaries. If the meaning of the word has changed in public usage then it's pointless to hang on to an outdated definition.

can't orientate properly because of new definition;

statuette teeth as ignored but coordinately standard self-applicable.

You can't even coordinate if that's the definition.

Calm down.

What is it with brainlets and their fascination with prescriptivism? Is it that when you're not very smart you decide to pretend to be smart by being autistic about words?

Are you going to have your child oriented?

(I'm trying to be serious but communication is infectious.)

Be paranoid of lockdown of pseudo-orient word!

You make it a noun for he act with the suffix -ation

I bet you say "conversate" too, fag.

Not it's not.

Orient can be used such as
orientism; as if you had prepared yourself, you are orient;

not replacing orientate and magnetic compass-specific.

I've only heard folks who speak English poorly use "orientate." They also say things like, "It was the best thing for him and I," and, "awesome!"

Is that a real person wearing fake hair and face masking stuff? Those eyes look so real it's hard to tell if it's a wax statue.
