Roll up the car's window "air is hitting my face". Do we say "air is hitting my face" or "air is hitting me in the face"?
 
The second one.
 
Air is hitting me in the face.
Is that something you would really say?

Maybe you feel a cold wind. Maybe it's something like that. That might make sense.

Which one is the correct sentence?

Air is hitting me in the face is incorrect. Am I correct?

Grammatically it's fine. However, it doesn't make sense. How exactly does air hit you in the face?

Is there a real world usage for that? Or is it for an imaginary world where things don't have to make sense?

I would never say air is hitting me in the face. Why would I?

I might say it's windy. That's possible.

Come on, tufguy. You know you have to mark out the sentence you're referring to in some way. For the umpteenth time, I've added quotation marks.

If you are sitting in a moving car with a window open would you still say the same? It is windy.

If I am in a moving car and the person sitting in the front has the window open and I want them to roll up the glass because the air is hitting my face then what should I say "air is hitting my face" or something else?
 
@tufguy I already mentioned that you could say it's windy. Are you paying any attention at all?
