The irony of using an apostrophe to make a word plural 3 times, using a
comma splice, and using the wrong "their" in an otherwise awesome
infographic about my future job hurts quite a bit.

Really?
I find it ironic that someone who chooses literacy as a career
path seems to misunderstand portions of it.
I saw 4 apostrophes used, 3 of which were used to imply
possession and the fourth was a contraction, so they were all
properly used. The only apostrophe misuse was leaving the
one off of "McDonald's". The only usage of "Their" was also
correct; however, I did notice the superfluous comma in the
opening paragraph.

My apologies... apparently this image has been updated since
the comment I replied to, and since the original comments
made no references to the mistake locations, I had to assume
they were pointing out correct usages as incorrect.

This infographic has at least 3 punctuation errors that I can find. In the 3
cases that I can find, "librarian's" (the possessive) is used instead of
"librarians" (the plural). Not so good for the "mastersineducation.org" site.

Hi Will,
That was a mistake on our part (oBizMedia) and not
mastersineducation.org. Thanks for pointing it out. We will
make sure moving forward this doesn't happen again.

Please don't encourage illiteracy. The usage of "Librarian's" in
the title of this infographic was correct.
The title could have read "The Worth of a Librarian", so it was
used correctly to imply possession.

Chris, the errors were in the content of the original
infographic. They appear to have been corrected.

There's a remaining typo at the bottom: "Infographic bough to you by:"
Clearly, editing is not a strong point. On the other hand, it's delightful to
see that there are so many people around who care about misplaced
apostrophes and the like. Now, if I could just educate the world about "lie"
vs "lay", and the hortatory subjunctive...

Whoever is making corrections: look at the opening sentence and the
phrase "a mousy book worms." There are two errors there. Human editors
are still better than spell checkers imho.

Does this tell us we should be revamping and investing more in our
synagogue libraries? I think so. Does this suggest we begin gathering data
on how our members use our library and ask them what would make them
use it more? I am certain.

Imho it's interesting, that the only thing of interest among those, who are
writing a comment down here, are the mistakes in grammar and spelling.
What about the displayed facts?
I think it is not clear, to which librarians the various numbers refer.
