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.
