Who in the US would ever call their phone a mobile? Phone, cell, iPhone, etc but I've never heard anyone call it a Mobile

I don’t know why some people can’t accept the fact that other places pronounce things differently. The French are always crying about how people pronounce things

Disoriented and disorientated are both correct spellings.
Aluminum was the first name, and stuck with the Americans, although it was later changed to aluminium, but by then it had already stuck with the Americans. Both spellings are considered proper by the IUPAC.
If two words spelled similarly had the same pronunciation, then lead would rhyme with read, and it it wouldnt at the same time. Arguing that two words spelled similarly should be pronounced similarly is pretty dumb if you are an English speaker.
America has its list of problems to choose from and making fun of any of the issues on the list would be valid and funny. Not understanding cultural spelling differences and assuming that you are “the standard” is both lazy and narrow minded.
Epicnaenae17 out.

Disorientated isn’t a word?? Or if it is then it’s a stupid one.

It's the British version. It's really annoying though watching British people act like they created English and are the only ones that speak it right. English is mostly based off of old German and latin which pronounced words much closer to the American variants than the British ones. Also, British variations of words usually popped up after the revolutionary war. They used to say Aluminum instead of Aluminium for example and they used to spell colour, neighbour and so on without the U the way we do.

I don’t normally judge other cultures or whatever for how they say shit but for whatever reason “disorientated” annoys the fuck outta me.

Err, well they might have a point on that.

u/IKaffeI Jul 05 '24
But they literally didn't.

u/Poop_Scissors Jul 05 '24
Hmm, I wonder why they speak English in England. Must be a coincidence.

u/IKaffeI Jul 05 '24
By that logic English was invented in America.

u/Poop_Scissors Jul 05 '24
How do you figure that out?
1
u/IKaffeI Jul 05 '24
Because America speaks English. Just because somewhere speaks a language doesn't mean they invented it.

Yeah most brits forget their tried and true accent is younger than the U.S and mostly existed only to make themselves sound better than the proles

Disorientated is not a word. It’s an extra syllable added on to “disorient” because of language comprehension skills overseas. The Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of disorientate is disorient.
