Protege.

What ever happened to calling someone a "protege"? That word seems to have been acceptably replaced with "mentee", which is a word that not only sounds silly, but is not even recognized as a word by the spell-checking software built into this blogging site! So if that's not the measure of perfection, I don't know what is. My main point here is that "mentee" is a ridiculous word. If you are mentoring someone, that person is your protege. Not your mentee. "Mentee" is just not a good word.

 

See? It's terribly confusing.
