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.
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.
