A&O - orientated or oriented?

[mom2cka]

How do you say / write your level of orientation? This is one of those things that's been on my mind... and the dictionaries appear to be OK with either.

Oriented or orientated?

Reoriented or reorientated?

I'm just curious - not sure if it's a regional thing or a personal preference.

Thanks!
