Honestly, this is pretty mild compared to other criticisms of the religion you can find online lol.
I mean it is, but others at least make sense. I of course don't think they're correct, being a Muslim, but I can at least understand why someone would think that way. Meanwhile this is just... uh... What? Does this guy even understand that the study of Arabic grammar studied so non-Muslims could understand the Quran. It's literally impossible for the Quran to contain Arabic grammar mistakes (let alone how Islam would have never spread if the core of its beliefs was such sloppy work).
Some Quran books have minor "corrections" in the sense that certain letters or accents on letters are changed. I believe it was meant to accommodate the dialect(s) at the time and was accepted since it didn't actually change the meaning. Definitely doesn't justify this guys stupidity though.
So I'll ramble a bit here.
We call those readings of the Quran, and they're all proven (up to sahih hadith standards) to come from Muhammed himself. These aren't changes that came with dialect (all of Quran is written in Classical Arabic, or the dialect of Arabic spoken in Mecca and its surroundings at the time of Muhammed), and in fact there was more diversity in how the Quran was recited in the past before Caliph Othman ordered everyone to burn down all Qurans that don't follow the Meccan dialect to avoid strife in the Caliphate. I can go into more detail if you want, but what I want to say that these differences are "built in" so to speak, and are not any sort of gotcha.
