With all these "ees" and "ors" you sound like a couple of donkeys. :-)
Chris in London said:Falastur said:gordondaviesmoustache said:Based on the premise that a mortgagee is the one that lends the money rather than the one who is in receipt of the money I would beg to differ and say that the snubee is the one who gives the snub - not that makes much sense either tbf :-)
A mortgagee is someone who receives the mortgaged property ;) the -ee means they are the one receiving or undergoing something, while -er means the opposite. Hence interviewer/interviewee, referer/referee (yep, that's where the word comes from), employer/employee.
But yes, it doesn't much matter. I'm just picky about this stuff :)
You won't mind me pointing out then that the mortgagor (NB spelling) is the person who mortgages the property, ie allows the property to be used as security for the loan. The mortgagee is the one who receives the benefit of the security, not the benefit of the loan. In short, the mortgagor is the homeowner, the lender is the mortgagee.
You should spend more time in the cellar. :)
