He's right, and you're probably American, meaning you're not entirely wrong either. You two are just talking about different systems.
Here in Europe it is taught you drive on the right most lane, as entrance and exit lanes are built separately. So if there are two lanes, there will be a third one at exits and entrances, or if there's three lanes there will be a fourth lane for when there's an entrance or an exit.
So it'd be rare to drive to a highway ans and be able to keep the lane you entered on, as it will merge with the normal amount of lanes, and then begin again when there's an exit coming up.
I'm a taxi driver in the third gen, btw. Or "was"? Hard to say.
I'm in the US, and that sounds like most highways here. Sometimes, the road gets larger and a lane is added for now than just an exit or entrance lane, and sometimes the road gets smaller and a lane becomes the exit lane or otherwise has to merge left. When that happens, you're obviously not expected to remain in the lane that is leaving the highway. That's not "the rightmost lane" any more
Whatever the specifics, I think this is rather about miscommunication online, not actually that either of you are bad drivers in any way.
Driving rules, road infrastructure and "cultural norms" vary somewhat betweeen NA and Europe, afaik.
You're right. I should have clarified originally. Thank you for stepping in.
