One of the most-ridiculous KJVO arguments I've ever seen is over the spelling of "Savior". I was actually told by a KJVO, very hatefully, a few years ago that I was using a corrupt Bible that dishonors Jesus by calling Him "Savior" insteada "Saviour"! At first, I couldn't decide whether to laugh or punch the man out, but I chose the PEACEFUL course, telling myself that, long as that gent lives, I'm not the STUPIDEST person on earth.

Since then, I've seen that same goofy and ignorant argument appear several times on the internet. I'm not sure, but I believe it was started by a dude called Nic Kizziah who wrote a piece of garbage about "counterfeit KJVs."

The reason for the "Saviour" spelling in the KJV is very simple...it's a BRITISH version. The British spell most words derived from Latin that end on "or" with "our", I. E. "colour, labour, rancour, endeavour", etc. while we spell most of them with simply the "or" ending, which is the original Latin spelling. Now, neither the British nor we are incorrect in these spellings; it's simply that we are Americans & they are British.

And that, of course, applies to "Savior". It's the VERY SAME WORD, in both spellings!

IMO, this whole argument is just another desperate KJVO attempt to manufacture some excuse to attempt to justify their doctrine.

If i were a KJVO person, would be more interested in why theirperfect version did not translate it as "our great God and savior" Jesus Christ!
