No, it is not regional. There is a correct pronunciation and an incorrect one. The English language is being slaughtered and the "regional accent" defense is no defense.

It mostly boils down to a regional accent and I don't recall any "speech police" complaining about Bostonians and their cah.

It's ignorance, not a regional difference.
