Well, either way t's a slip of characterisation -by the actor playing
the character who's pretending to be USAian or by the character
pretending to be USAian.

One way you could argue it's intentional - but, since he's not from
Earth originally, why would he have learnt the UK way of pronouncing
(apparently) just one word while learning the USAian way opf saying
everything else?

Not that it is, of course, of any true significance in my
Visualisation of the Cosmic All.
