[Lexicog] Re: disorientate

[John Roberts]

Rudy,

The UK usage seems to be a bit more ambivalent when you dis- it.

UK
disorient          9,110
disoriented     27,900
disorientate      4,640
disorientated   34,600

nonUK
disorient         111,000
disoriented      598,000
disorientate       18,300
disorientated     98,300

Also many hits in both domains appeared to be proper names, so I don't know
how accurately these figures reflect actual usage of these words.
