I hope "reorientate" is not a real word.

It's not. It should be "reorient".

Why can't the English teach their bishops how to speak?

I read in one of William Safire's books about the "tate/tater" phenomenon, commentator was one that agitated him a lot. His contention was that, commenter would work just as well. Orient/orientate was another one.

He has written some great books on language.
