The New International Version, the Bible of choice for conservative evangelicals,

Wrong, NIV is a big seller, but not the choice of conservative Bible believers. It distorts God's word and changes the doctrine. Also known as Satan's translation.

Can you provide an example of why this is so?

I wonder what's the consensus on the LOLCATS translation? http://www.lolcatbible.com/index.php?title=Genesis_1

I disagree with your sentiment about the NIV.

However, I do agree that the KJV is the superior translation. But Hebrew and Greek are better still.

I can’t read Hebrew or Greek.

In any case, studying more than one translation can be useful, comparing verses in one to the other.
