I'm an American who lived in the UK for several years, and found that I had to speak a bit differently (crisper?) to be better understood, since I have a lazy, kind of Californian drawl. I worked in media and ditched most of my Americanisms in writing, but sometimes there are just things you don't know, like (my friends will recognize this story) I used "stroller" in a story for a toddler's stroller and my editor was like, wtf is that? It's a pushchair. An American writer might swap in pram, but that's a baby carriage, not an upright conveyance.

So I get how people just wouldn't know a word isn't commonly used, if it doesn't come up in canon or dialogue.
