Notice the words in column 2 have an extra, often unnecessary syllable added to it.
| 1 | 2 |
| preventive | preventative |
| oriented | orientated |
| interpret | interpretate |
While the entries in the 2nd column have still made their way into the dictionary, it really isn't the preferred way of saying the word. I've found these over-syllabified words are often used by those who are in the marketing business and will speak them to sound more technical (I'm really tired of hearing "object orientated language"!).
