I have, "only a rudimentary understanding of the rules of English usage."
I still cringe when I see many of those things.
Sadly, "orientate" is a word. A STUPID word, but a word. There's a couple corrections in there that are, in fact, preferences, not rules. Though I won't argue that most of them make you look dumb, correct or not.
