OP Quote:
...the definition of orient, "to place or arrange so as to face the east" dates to the early 18th century, orientate comes in the mid 19th. Plenty of time to have gotten used to it, IMNSHO.
So, if you spin an Asian person around do they become disoriented?
{Is there a rule here against puns?}
