[QUOTE="winglas, post: 966899, member: 41325"] I cant believe some of the stuff you can find in the dictionary...Orient as a verb means to "find direction" or "give direction." The noun form of this kind of orienting is orientation. Orientate is an imagined verb from orientation. Let me give you examples: Make sure you orient the door of the can in the proper direction. [B]NOT[/B] Make sure you orientate the door of the can in the proper direction. Make sure the orientation of the door is correct. [B]NOT [/B]Make sure the door is orientated correctly. [/QUOTE]
