The King’s English | How the KJV shaped our language

CanonWIRED has posted several KJV related videos over the past year, which are linked below for those just tuning in. One of the common arguments against using the KJV (over something like the NIV), is that the English is “outdated.”
It may not be as outdated as we think.

This video, produced by the folks over at kingsenglish.info, goes through 100 phrases we use in the English language today that can be attributed to the King James Version-all in 3 minutes.

Enjoy this very cleverly produced video. Thanks to Steve Jeffery for pointing it out.
