The oriented and orientated thing could be a mistake by Cyclingnews. Those guys make spelling and grammar mistakes all the time. I could probably make a blog about it.

Pointless,

I can see that you are very detail orientated.

Shouldn't that be, "Due, Fowler can shove it! I can have a fundamental quarrel with anyone I damn well please!"?

Just sayin'.

ahhh, but they are interchangeable...which I can't believe, considering how wrong "orientated" sounds.

From the third Edition of Fowler’s Modern English Usage, about the oriented/orientated issue: “one can have no fundamental quarrel with anyone who decides to use the longer of the two words”

i'm no nerd, but i'm pretty sure leipheimer used the word wrong. he obviously meant "oriented." "oriented" and "orientated" are NOT interchangeable in american english and last i checked, levi is as american as... well as american as lance.

I have no problem with this guy having an opinion.
It just seems not worth while to pen a blog being mostly negative.
That is covered already, everywhere.

Well, I'm not really insulted or anything. I mean, I've probably said similar things on this very blog (I know I have actually). I found it kinda' funny, so I thought I should share.

Sadly, the intranet has given a platform from which all may spew. Not to mix metaphors, but I just try pick the peanuts out of the poop. The Geeks are exacting their revenge (e.g., Gates et al.) The modern world can be quiet DISORIENTATING, I find.

I don't think 'oriented' and 'orientated' are interchangeable, though, and saying 'orientated' when one means 'oriented' is not cool. Seriously, it's like littering. Or invading smaller countries to liberate precious metals. Not that grammarians lose perspective on things. Nor that cycling geeks lose perspective on kits, colors, local heroes, or anything else...

Safe New Year to you.

Wait a minute.
There is a guy who just critiques cycling kit.
How is that even interesting?
All the established cycling websites do a kit review at the top of every season.
Sounds like a cat 5 blog to me.
This guy is way off the back. I highly doubt he'll earn any upgrade points to the big action in the 4's.

For perspective Klaus, you're a cat.1 racing on an international license with enough points to ride a world cup. Yes, I'm still wound up from the sprint finish in Zolder today.
Keeeeeeeeeeevvvviiiiiiiinnnnnnnnn Pauwels!

In his head, the guy with the 'objectionable' kit blog fancies himself a blogeur of great wit, hilariously dismissing clothing of which he does not approve, a fashion-conscious Fred version of BSNYC if you like. In his head... Seriously, we're grown men and women in lycra, how do we look anything but ridiculous? Looking more or less ridiculous is irrelevant. Step away from the blog, get back on your bike. Also, his blog is neither inspiring nor educational, unlike others I could mention. Happy holidays Klaus.
