That correction is...pedantic. Sorry, brotherRemember that the word "Talent" in scripture has the meaning of a measured weight to which a value is placed upon, i.e. money which was given to the Good and Faithful servants to trade with because of their ability to make money.
Because of the misuse of the word "talent" by biblical teachers it now has the meaning of "a natural ability" which if applied to the Parable of the Talents changes the context and message contained within that parable which was all about Satan's plans for the time period he is imprisoned in the Bottomless pit.
The picture and words in the picture in the post above gives the wrong message.
Instead of the word "talents" it should have used the word "abilities" which for a Christian person are often expressed as "spiritual giftings" given by God to enhance the person's ability to present the Gospel to others.
It may be a small issue for some but, being a good and faithful servant of Christ, does not mean that we should use "talents" to oppress others by trading with the talents that Satan has given his good and faithful servants.
Shalom
That correction is...pedantic. Sorry, brother
"Pedantic is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter."
There's nothing wrong with using talent instead of natural ability in the post.
Amen
