Dispatches - 'Is torture a good idea?' (49.03)

bamdrewsays...

more interesting than the slightly silly title would suggest.

do people in the UK say 'disorientated' frequently? we just say 'disoriented' in the states, as far as I'm aware.

Baquetasays...

If you ask me, Americans should be tortured for their crimes against spelling. It would be great if Jack Bauer could be the one to do it, too...

To answer your question bamdrew, both are said here. However, I'm not sure if 'disoriented' is a genuine English word: I've a feeling it's one of those damned Yankee spy-words which has snuck back across the Atlantic to befoul our great mother tongue.
