Uhm, "ee" does not exist in the German language. So, "pioneer" is pionier. The abbreviation is also Pion.

What German did you learn? Lol.

Either way, pioneer is incorrect. Pionier is correct.

I am German too, and there is no "ee" in the German I speak. The "ee" sound is always ie.

Well then your german is really weird. You pronounce the 'ee' in 'Schnee' like a long 'e'.

But why so much OT.

That probably gives Crozade more authority on German since he will be surrounded by it all day.

May I ask where you were born in germany / austria / switzerland (Bundesland)?
Because then your german is terribly wrong cuz there is only one german (with lots of dialects like saxon, bavarian, swabian etc.) and in that all those words are "ee".
