There's no right or wrong here. As Norm pointed out,
oriented is the best choice in the states. If I
remember correctly, as Doug pointed out, orientated
was an unacceptable word years ago which has now
gained acceptance. I remember using the word
orientated in high school and being severely
chastised. It was a good while back.
