You mixed up America and UK, who saysays an American accent is ever fancy lol
US is normal
UK is fancy
Aussie is wildcard
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".
Also, you never considered pronouncing gif as “jiff” because your native language (German), where you heard it first, has no soft G.
Pretty sure you've got Aussie and US arse about.
UK is traditional
US is simplified
Aus is wildcard
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.
