    Which is right? I always say disorientated, disoriented just sounds and looks wrong but I keep seeing it written. Im reading a book right now by an author that I love but his use of this word is bugging the **** out of me:(

    Both, technically. But disorientated is the more "proper" one.

    You can use either, i think. If you really find that you are using this word/s so frequently that it's giving you pause for thought, i'd advise that you just pick one, go with it from now on and make no apologies. People, you might find, will be surprisingly forgiving regarding this matter.
