If i recall there are a few grammatical errors in KJV , the were copied word for word by j.smith by the way.

The archaic language of KJV makes it some what harder to read as I tend to have to “translate” to modern English as I go.

At least one lds person I knew said other translations did not have the “feel” of the KJV. I guess its like old English script seems more.. “formal” than just reg text.

Yeah, the KJV feels very “formal”. Grammar errors and such not withstanding. it is nice to read in a liturgical setting and such. In class the modern translations reach better.
