Many, many people know the correct meaning of these two words. And many, many people have heard him mis-speak, and have chosen to say nothing - including his boss, his peers, his family, and so on.
If all those people have chosen to say nothing, leave it alone.
If this was a subordinate, or your spouse, you wouldn't even ask the question, you'd just correct them quietly one day.
Your boss didn't hire you to be his grammarian. Focus on the things that are really important to the business, and let this one go.
