      No. Wild card is you learned English in a foreign non English native country and your accent is an absolute mess. You say Autumn but Taxi, color but wa(t)er, and maybe you call you cell phone your “Handy”.

      I’d rather dub the US variant a wildcard, based on it being the result of mixing English and all the other languages of settlers. Also, the US and its variations are very common and shadow the other variants which is somewhat sad.
