peeve: oriented vs orientated

[hijacking thread]

It appears that the aero laptop helpdesk has adopted our favorite font to convey a warm, laid-back feeling on its webpage. Hopefully the rest of the UND aerospace website will soon be redone in this cute and carefree font!

Hasn't it looked this way since the beginning of the year at least? I don't see any change.

Seems to be UND's official font choice for all announcements. It's everywhere. It's on bus schedule change announcements when you ride the bus, it's seen on the 50 other pages of wasted paper you receive daily on the outside of your on-campus apartment, it's in Dakota Student ads, TidBits ads, local TV ads (like, WTF?), etc. They might as well use a font created from Playskool's logo.

And if anyone's interested in fontography and why graphic designers hate this crap font, check out:
