But TM didn’t know that it’s a Rasmi issue (assuming it is as per you). He said it’s a “grammatical mistake.”
Now let’s assume for a second that he actually meant “Rasm” by the term “Grammar” as you have assumed arbitrarily. Even then, TM didnt say “difference in Grammar.” Instead he said “Grammar mistake.” The important point is that he attributed a mistake to the Quran, when there IS NOT one, especially in this particular context of
لنسفعا and لنسفعن.
Not only did he attribute a mistake to the Quran, he also explicitly attributed deficiency to the knowledge and scrupulousness of the Prophet ﷺ.
And even if it was implicit/implied, it would still be perceived as insult and therefore Kufr.
Whether it was intentional, or “unintentional” due to TM’s own (and apparently yours as well) lack of understanding of what the term Ummi means in the context of the Prophet ﷺ, is not admissible as a defense. And neither is one allowed to interpret an explicit (الصريح) statement.
^ Focus on this latter part. And stop getting distracted by semantics.
