[Dixielandjazz] Blanket Statements?

[pat ladd]

 easier recognizing mentors when the "mentored"..

I know that no red blooded American would use one word where they could use 
six or use a simple word where something else could be forced into play.

Nevertheless, as this thread appears to be likely to go on for ever could I 
enter a plea on behalf of the English speakers on the list and suggest that 
`teacher` and `pupil` be substituted for `mentor` and `mentored`

A mentor is an `experienced and trusted consellor`.  `Mentored` ? No such 
word. Not according to my Oxford Dictionary (The one with the picturesd in)

Cheers
