The KJV was a word for word translation,

Except for the ADDED words printed in Italics.


In fact, the words in italics in the King James Bible are words that were added by the translators to help the reader.

Wrong. The only reason they italicized words was because the edges of the pages of the original non-corrupted texts were worn off because of how often they were used. When the Majority Texts were consulted they were able to figure out what the words were.
