I don't dislike the word "orientated" (it is a real word), nor would I discourage it's use on either side of whatever pond. It's simply not correct to use it in the particular and very specific "object oriented" context. Much like the often mis-camel-cased "SmallTalk", it is incorrect. Had Alan Kay coined the term "object orientated", I would use it without question.
