In my day, it was simply ‘mentor’ (or even ‘master’) and ‘protege’ … ‘master’ of course is now socially unacceptable.

You know, English is full of examples of exceptions to the rule – my guess is that mentee is here to stay – yet another exception. Sigh.

Heh; got here trying to figure out what to call the Telemachii in our program–something besides “emerging scholars”, but “mentee” is so clearly incorrect… I think that you’re right about all this, but I think we’ll end up going with mentee anyway. Ah well.

Yes quite right. I did say ridicule was permitted

Yet the word “mentee” is a legitimate English word which you can find in the Webster dictionary and the word “mentoree” is not.

Alain, I hate to condone violence in any sort of public forum, however in this case I would be taking the salt they offered and rubbing in their dirty lieing* eyes until they cry like little girls who have been kicked in the shins. Honey, syrup, bannana. In that order.
*clearly any one who suggested such an abhorent act would be a dirty filty liar.

A few friends have told me it tastes better just salted – I’ve always stuck to honey or syrup. Any advice?

Fascinating concept. We had not thought of it, but we may build variable pricing into the ticketing system that we offer. In fact variable pricing within sections may be real useful.
