That's even worse than *preventative.
Is that because you're 'used to' *it?

Say what you will about orientate; it has always been a verb. Orient is a verbed noun.

it has always been a verb Exactly. I just always thought it was a modern abomination. (still sounds annoying though)

a modern abomination
An early modern abomination is more like it. If memory serves it dates back to about 1645. Orient as a verb dates to about ten years earlier. Again, if memory serves.
