Connoted. Many of the words for which the -ation form is the most familiar (connotation) are incorrectly used in their regular form. One of my 'favorites' is oriented. You may attend an orientation meeting, but you do not become 'orientated' by doing so. You correctly become 'oriented.' The same form (yes, I just looked it up to be sure) is true with connote and denote.

I'm American and I can say that we have slaughtered the mother tounge. However in our defense.... when we moved over here to the New World, we had a proper way of speaking and over the years and miles of land between familys and towns... we got inventive! How about some of the 'hillbilly' accents? "hi ya'll!" some of these conjure up images of very ignorant folk, and the truth be known... these are some of the most clever and wise of us! A country boy will survive is really true.

depends how it is used in a sentence. connotated sounds more correct though.

I think it's connotated. I don't know about other sports, but in cricket we have commentators, not commenters. They commentate, they don't comment. Similarly (?) you salivate, you don't salive... this second example is just to lend credence to my theory.
