Petro' said: "KJV is defective in some ways, but better than most modern alternatives."

The 'defect' as I understand it, is that they used the word 'easter' in one place when they should have used the word 'passover'

[Petronski]

You misunderstand it.

There are questionable textual issues. Also I think the KJV translation of Col 1:24 indicates a certain sense of "Paul couldn't possibly have meant THAT!"

It is still a monument whose place can never be taken away. I remember well when I was 12 and I had mistakenly picked up an RSV from which to read at Episcopal Morning Prayer in Advent, and Fr. John Warren (May he rest in peace) yanked my chain after the service.

One of the sad, sad things about this age is that people no longer speak English or know anything other than their own tawdry slang.

In 7th grade Latin we encountered the verb "laudo". I was 11 years old. I said to the teacher, "That just means 'laud.'" He, astonished, asked what I thought "laud" meant, and I said, "Praise." I learned it in Sunday worship, for crying out loud!

Okay. I admit it. You didn't need to know that.
