Student Arrested After Pilot Uniform Found...

It is. orientated is an illiterate version of oriented. the extra syllable adds nothing, nor modifies the meaning of the actual word. it is in fact useless. However, if enough people use an incorrect form of a word, eventually dictionaries begin to include it. I'd be willing to bet that you couldn't find "orientated" in a dictionary published 30 years ago.

Sort of like pronoucing the 't' in often.

Nu

perhaps in a sense, however pronouncing (or not) the t which exists in the correct spelling of the word "often" is somewhat understandable, the t after all *is* there. Adding an unnecessary and meaningless syllable to a perfectly adequate word is like saying oftenten when you really mean often

Bwaaahhaahaa, what a crock.

Everybody knows when something is "oriented", it turns yellow and grows buck teeth.

Are you kidding me? Is this the kind of crap the moderators allow on here?

Wait, in the country illegally? Let's give him food stamps, medicaid, free schooling and anything else we can think of. But by all means, do not let anyone in who will pay taxes and contribute to our GDP.

I think he has to speak Spanish for that, tho.

Maybe the guy was just airline wannabe geek that had a problem with his finances. You think owl-kay-duh would let a cell member run around broke?

Yeah like John Travolta without the finance troubles.

He must be a part-time student.

"A lot of people go to college for 7 years." "I know, they're called doctors."

How about the racist undertones of that message? That enough baggage for ya? There's no need for junk like that on a message board.
