    This is truly a TERRIBLE thread.
    (Using the Anglican Version definition, of course :saint: ).

    Language evolves and as I translate God's Words (Hebrew/Greek) for this Sunday's sermon, I definitely opt toward definitions that are the most common and understandable by people today.

    But of course ya do, Dr. Bob. I reckon some KJVOs forget that the KJV was written as much as possible in the English of its day, with spellings & punctuation up to date.

    While in the USN some 40 years ago, I had the chance to go out on the town(town of Tokyo) with some British swabbies. Their "sailor talk" was quite different from ours. The cussing was about the same. And I understand that quite a bit of US sailor terminology came from the Royal Navy. Guess the different nations' English has 'evolved' in slightly-different directions since the American Revolution. The Aussies' English is different from both ours & that of the British. But all in all we understand each other mosta the time!

    Actually the KJV was a bit dated and slighly archaic-sounding in 1611.The same reason why many like the KJV today is why some liked the KJV then --because it sounds foreign and different -- so that somehow made it seem more Bible-like.Many are sentemental traditionalists.
