And you mean BBC made a mistake?

Hi,

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes.

'Disorientated' is commonly heard, and may probably appear in a dictionary at some time in the future.

Best wishes, Clive

Disorientated is in UK English dictionaries already, Clive. Perhaps it's yet another Brit/US difference?
