My prayers for the family. And the word is “disoriented”. I really wonder how they’re grading journalism majors these days.

Ironically the reporter gets it correct in the article. The headline writing editor (who should know better) gets it wrong.

Disorientated is the British English form of the American word Disoriented.....

The word orientate means: to face or turn to the east

So, disorientate means to face away from the east. LOL.

Most journalists were taught their English grammar and spelling in Public School.
