If it is in the dictionary it is a word.

No, The word "orientate" is one of those words that has ended up in our lexicon simply because it has been misused for so long.

---

It really does not matter when it was added. But it was added. Are we suppose to keep the same dictionary from biblical times? No we are suppose to add new words as time progresses.

 

Btw for the record this is not english class, it is a question to know how to get his spindle in the right direction. You are just trying to feel good about your self by busting someone elses balls.

 

And another btw, My machines do not care how I orientate or orient the spindle. They speak the universal language of math.

SAIPEM,

 

You may be right about the language thing, or maybe not. I'm a mechanical engineer and I could care less. Trevor was trying to help Jim solve his problem of setting his spindle orientation, which was a nice gesture. All you offered in your post was a grammer correction which nobody gives a rip about in this forum, except maybe you.

 

Do you typically offer grammar corrections in business settings in the US? If so, what sort of response do you typically get? Probably not helping your career much if you do. I'd guess it would automatically label you as arrogant.

Hurray for Bullit Bob

 

resjun, gaunch is underwear. It took me a long time to orient this word to undergarment. (did I use the word orient correctly?)

This trade humbles us all sooner or later and there is a very thin line between arrogance

and supreme confidence.

Frankly, I'm not educated enough to tell the difference. To teh ignorant gcode, you just sound like a pompous a$$.

 

Sometimes, even when you're right, you're very very wrong.

Simply being an author does NOT make one a linguist or an authority on language.

 

Use whatever one floats your boat.

 

Be aware that in a business situation in the U.S., using 'orientate' will automatically label you an uneducated rube to those with whom you engage in conversation.

Proper use of language is one of them.

 

If you don't wish to be considered an uneducated rube, you could start by spelling the words properly when you are attempting to insult me.

 

Please feel free to ignore my posts as you clearly know everything already.

I think it the light of your use of words you might think about it this way sir. To error is human, but to be the jack hammer to drive the rivet home proves what. Life is way to short on this earth and in the lose nature of this forum we are allowed some freedom to be ourselves or not ourselves our choice. I often type words wrong spell words wrond and do thing wrong. Guess what; I am human and to think you are doing good in showing what you consider others doing as wrong proves what. The use of words is easy to you, but being a person has seemed to have eluded you.

 

You may pocess eloquence and demeanor in your understanding and use of the english language this however does not give you the right to digress this converstaion into showing how superior you think you are.

[Jim ..]

Boy, WHAT have I started?

Thank you for all your help, technical and grammer.

I didnt think anyone noticed. I saw that on the marquee of a church and it changed my life. Im not a religious person(and I dont want to start another religious thread here)but that is THE most profound thing I ever read in my life.

All past words aside,

 

Here's to those who gave everything so that we have the freedom to argue about something so meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

 

Freedom isn't Free, It's Priceless.

 

 

My best wishes to all for this coming Memorial Day.

jeff underwear would be said like gotches

[Kelly Burns]

Wow, this is what I miss when I dont visit the forum for a week; I can feel the love.

 

Saipem, was the use of a semi-colon appropriate to use here? Capitalization and spelling correct?

Get a life.

whatcha yall talking about.....? I aint seen nothing like this in a while. im just sitting here having some pizza learnin about gramar!>!

[Troy Gossett Indepak Inc.]

M19 = Spindle orient ON

M20 = Spinlde orient OFF

 

Since there is a canceling code I would expect M19 to be modal, at least until another spindle related command was called. M03 etc.

 

I like to orientate as I know it is improper anglich and gets on the nervs of the people whom were brought up to never let a simple mspellin' go.

 

I thought the Orient referred to a region on Earth predominantly populated by Orientals.

 

The size of a Man can be measured by the size of the things that make him angry.

[Jeff the haas_guy]

Don't stop now. This is gettin' good.

[Jim ..]

I don't seem to have M20 Orient off on my Haas machine.

[Brad MacKinnon]

mine either (VF-OE) ... Just the Orient button for MDI. Which stays until the machine is put in handle mode or in a program it holds untill a MO3 or MO4 is read.

Jim,

 

Back to the main subject. Just talked to the haas sales guy. He said that haas has a widgety thingy mabob that you can bolt on to the spindle to lock it from spinning.
