yes the characters in the game use the word buffalo but the game outside the story shouldn't. in other aspects of the game the word usage is different from the characters. but it sounds like you all don't mind like how most americans pronounce "often" without the t being silent


Exactly, we don't mind.  When to Americans are talking to each other they understand the colloquialisms that are being used.  What does it matter if it's not technically correct grammar and such.  English used in the USA has been evolving since it was colonized and there is no reason to stop it.  It makes our version of English unique and most people living the in US could care less if other people think they should us proper English. 


Well since this is a thread about semantics I should point out it's you couldn't care less.  Saying you could care less doesn't really say much.  :-p

I'll use semantics right back at you.  Some Americans do care what people in other countries think of how they talk so they do care.  Thus, Americans as a whole could care a little less.
