Not a word, people. Orient, oriented, orientation.
Think - Class, classify, classification. You do not classificate something, why would you want to orientate it, too?
Orientate is a word

Orientate is a word
Only because it has been misused by so many people so often that the dictionaries included it. Like IRREGARDLESS. Wasn't a word before, now it is. The dumbing of America - even the dictionary editors aren't immune.
I'm still going to insist that the correct word is "orient".
