If that's your criteria you should lean lobjan.

My apologies but your posts meaning is ambiguous and so it shall be ignored.

Could your please re-post it in either Serbian or Lobjan?

I don't know about those languages, but I can post it in Welsh:

Os bydd un "gwyro" y ffordd honno o bosibl.

Fe es i'r ysgol i bwyso.

(Don't complain about English untill you've taken a stab at learning a Celtic language!)

The things you learn. Just read a local article that made reference to "Navy Seabees".

My first though was that it was some weird auto-correct snafu and it meant Navy Seals. I googled it anyway, turns out the Navy Seabees are the construction arm of the Navy (I presume analogous to the Army Corps of Engineers), and it gets the name from the initials for "Construction Brigade".

I can't wait until that knowledge becomes useful, most likely to make me feel all knowledgeable and superior while watching Jeopardy or playing Trivial Pursuit.

My grandfather was a SeaBee.

Or Latin:

How did you not know that?

The Fighting Seabees is a decent WWII movie.

Also, I believe theirs was one of the first unit logos designed at Dismey during the war.

Here's more info about the Fighting Bee.
