Disinterested
I. The judge remained disinterested in the heated debate between the lawyers.
II. Her disinterested advice was highly valued, as she had no personal stake in the matter.
III. The disinterested audience began to lose focus during the long and tedious presentation.
"Disinterested" means unbiased or having no personal stake in the matter. In sentences I and III, the word is used correctly to describe someone's lack of personal interest. In sentence II, the word is used incorrectly; "disinterested" should mean unbiased, not someone without a personal stake.
