I can go 2 hours south and hear a different pronunciation of almost every word. Not a big deal. The world won't end.

I googled air kisses. They originated in Asia and are standard practice in Hollywood. No mention of lip gloss.

If you understand what the person is saying and it isn't causing any actual problems, do yourself a favor and let it go. A comment here won't change anyone's behavior, and venting about something in a forum where people are prone to argue with you is just going to make you even more frustrated. Hope you have a nice night...

@rms1954 I grow copious amounts of basil every year and pronounce it as Americans do. I could never pronounce it like the English, because it reminds me of the way Sybil Fawlty harped at Basil when he's done something wrong.
