This is a question Irrational Hatred

People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

The word "orientate"
I maintain that the verb is "to orient". Otherwise the active state would be "orientatation", which is clearly crap.

This is irrational because I've realised that there is a case for having both, with subtle shades of meaning. But it still makes my teeth grind.
