Re: Collaboration / Mentoring
Anyone who's reffed with me knows (have even remarked) that I'm a black-and-white kind of guy. I don't like when stuff gets made up on the spot. So, irrespective of what ever comes from this thread, I will agree with Webster:

Pronunciation: 'men-"tor, -t&r
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, from Greek MentOr
1 capitalized : a friend of Odysseus entrusted with the education of Odysseus' son Telemachus

Main Entry: col·lab·o·rate
Pronunciation: k&-'la-b&-"rAt
Function: intransitive verb
Inflected Form(s): -rat·ed; -rat·ing
Etymology: Late Latin collaboratus, past participle of collaborare to labor together, from Latin com- + laborare to labor
