mentor/mentee

[Benjamin Barrett]

The graduate students use it in the Linguistics Department at the
University of Washington. I know I didn't like it at first, but it's a
word that's needed...

Has anyone heard _mentee_? The pattern is obvious (cf. lessor/lessee),
but I wonder about the specific form. (Personally, I like manatee.)

Thanks.
