He is right and your choice of words is clearly a noun. ( Was that a complete sentence?)

corrections:
- Use "their" to indicate possession and not use "there" or "they're".
- Use "there" to indicate position and not use "their" and "they're"
- Use "they're" to indicate "they are" and not use "there" and "their"
- Use "I could not care less" to indicate that they do not care in the least and not use "I could care less" unless they do care a little.
- Use "I saw" or "I have seen" to indicate that they visibly witnessed something in the past and not use "I seen" unless they want to sound like an inbred hillbilly from West Virginia or Arkansas.

However, that error does not bother me as much as "I seen".

But, I will TD a coot, a UGag fan, and/or a real member of the "lunatic fringe" in an instance without warning or reason.
cutigerbob® deserved one because a year or so ago, I posted that I would TD any post that had the phrase, "I could care less", in it regardless of the poster. So, he considers it a challenge to make me TD him.

I could care less
Stating that you could care less indicates that you care some and that there is a lower level at which you could care. Saying "I couldn't care less indicates that your concern/interest is at the lowest level possible already and is the correct form.
But you probably couldn't care less. Or maybe you could care less.

Here are some more ideas to make this bored better.
Avoid alliteration- always. When dangling, don’t use participles. Avoid cliches like the plague. Never resort to hyperbole- not one person in a million can use it effectively. Above all don’t use no double negatives.

Since this has become a broader discussion, let me add:
She and I went to the store.
Folks from Ohio, in particular, tend to say “her and I” for both subject and object. That is never correct.
She went to the store.
I went to the store.
She and I went to the store.
The present was for her.
The present was for me.
The present was for her and me.
