you're wrong mister grammar nazi.

Both bison and bisons are correct plural forms. Get yourself a better dictionary...


Prove it buddy, quick google and all that came up was some high school that picked Bisons as their name trying to get it into Websters...

This is a pretty funny thread. I'll add that Buffalo wings aren't actually made of Buffalo. O_o


Valid point

That's why there are only 20 buffalos/bisons in the game and you get an achievement/trophy for killing all of them.

Is this true or you're kidding?

Manifest Destiny 5
Kill the last buffalo in the Great Plains in Single Player.

This can only be completed in the Great Plains. You will first need to finish Act 2 to gain access to this area. Make your way to the Great Plains and ride around until you find the Buffalo. They are normally roaming around in the open. To unlock the achievement you need to kill all 20 of the herd. Make sure that you pick off the buffalo from a distance, if they run off don't chase them. Save often and come back to this area every once in a while to kill the odd buffalo you see. Once you kill the last buffalo the achievement will unlock.

Attempting this early on with a less powerful gun can take a while. If you have a sniper rifle use that instead it's a one shot kill on any buffalo.



Wow I'm impressed!

like off-ten instead of just often

please try again... both your spelling (since you incuded the t in both) and your mostly invalid points.

Often was pronounced with a t-sound until the 17th century, when a pronunciation without the  /t/   came to predominate in the speech of the educated, in both North America and Great Britain, and the earlier pronunciation fell into disfavor. Common use of a spelling pronunciation has since restored the  /t/  for many speakers, and today [aw-fuhn]  and  [awf-tuhn]  [or  [of-uhn]  and [of-tuhn]] exist side by side. Although it is still sometimes criticized, often with a /t/  is now so widely heard from educated speakers that it has become fully standard once again.

also see any decent dictionary that keeps both pronunciations. this is much like herb, which can be pronounced urb or hurb. Both are completely acceptable.

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. 

Also, it's When two Americans are talking...  :-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.
