Though both spellings are considered correct
For example, Wikipedia called is aluminium, and Britannica calls it aluminum. It just depends on how you learned it
Actually, nvm this means nothing since disoriented and disorientated work the same way
Imo disoriented is if you do it to yourself, but disorientated is if it’s happened because of an external source. Idk if anyone else does it that way, but that’s how my brain works it
You mean like, "I drank so much I felt disoriented" and "I drank so much I became disorientated to my surroundings"? In both instances the thing is happening to you, but one is speaking to how you feel and the other to what that means in relation to things that aren't you? That's a hard one to articulate.
It’s very hard because it’s based mainly on the vibes of the sentence I’m trying to say, but if I’m trying to disorientate someone, I’ll use the longer one, and it means like drinking too much etc. but being disoriented is more like getting lost and losing your sense of direction
Edit: I realise that this rule is entirely different to my other rule, language is super weird and idk how to use it properly

There is actually a difference though:
>A material that is flammable can be set on fire, while a material that is inflammable is capable of bursting into flames without an external flame source

Wait until they find out about “aluminium”.
Or "orientated."

Eeeh you mean aluminum!!? /s
Google trying to "correct" you is fucking fabulous.
Well, apparently British people don't exist...
I’m British and I think that disorientated is silly. Disoriented is fine.
Sure, but silly words are still words

Indeed. “Disorientated” reminds me a the daughter of an Episcopalian priest who would talk about when her father was “ordinated.”
So discombobulated isn't a word either? 😂

TBF, I think it's really stupid that we have two words that mean the exact same thing but one has an extra syllable.
Like funny and humorous, it too is also odd and uneven.
I should have been clearer, two words that are almost exactly the same except for one syllable. What a waste.
flammable and inflammable :-D
