Sorry but the "synonyms" in the AV suck. The NIV is clear in it's meaning. My daughter and I just went through them all and laughed at the AV list. The NIV was more understandable and clear in it's meaning. AND more specific. Daughter just said " I can be quite vexed without being grieved". And yearling is specific, fatling is not. And turbulent is waaaaaay past unstable. The list is just petty silliness.
It can't be. It removed over 64,000 words without manuscript evidence and removes WHOLE verses!!!
Also, the KJV is much easier to read.
"Modern versions bave been marketed extensively as being easier to read than the KJV Bible. However, recent computerized document analysis programs have objectively revealed that the King James Version of the Bible is in far easier to read than the NIV or the NASB.
The Fleisch-Kincaid research firm has, through computerized analysis, sbown that the KJV vocabulary has fewer syllables per word than the NIV or the NASB.
Furthertmore, the KJV has less complex sentences than the NIV or NASB. In reality, the KJV is easier to read than its modern counterparts in the manner of vocabulary and syntax."

"According to the F-K [Flesch-Kincaid] formula 74.3% of the books [in the KJV] are on or below the sixth grade level, and 94% are on or below the seventh grade level! . . . And the FRE [Flesch Reading Ease] rated 97% of the KJV books as Fairly Easy or Easy! These were all first place statistics!" (Ibid, p. 80)
