Did not know that, but would be pretty expensive, correct?

Ah, but it isn't, though. 1828 is 217 years later. Note how quaint a book written in the early 1800s seems to a modern reader. It's about the same length of time between the KJV and Webster's as between Webster's and today.

The full 20-volume OED runs about $1000, which obviously would be expensive for home use, and overkill. There's also a compact edition, which is the full version photoreduced into a single volume. Comes with a magnifying glass. Still sells for several hundred dollars.
A good library would have an OED that you can consult for free. They may also subscribe to the online edition.
or a much cheaper "fix" would be to update your Kjv to the nkjv, or something like the nas/esv
I use only the King James but for reasons other people often cite.
I also respect others right to use others versions. Many of my dear friends use other versions and seem to do just fine. I feel it's like how we all have preferences in soft drinks, fast food restrauants, and brand of firearms* Let every man and woman decide for himself.
I like the elegance of the old language and I seem to understand it well enough, I like the heritage and influence and the many revivals in which it was used. I like using one common bible at church and this is the one we use. I like the effort that was used in the translation, but smarter men than I would make a case for the efforts that went into every translation i'm sure. I like the comfort and commonality. Most to the people I know and respect, throughout my life, chose this particular version. This is something most of you could also say for your particular choice. I understand a more scholarly approach would include concerns about the Textus Receptus manuscripts, known human errors, word translation concerns, age of the terminology, late additions to the manuscript, but I just trust in faith God will continue to direct me through the worn old book that has been with me from the start.
* I happen to like Glock, Kimber and Sig with H&K my preference in military weapons. Browning has to get an honorable mention all around.
I'm not S&WO... more S&WP.
No love for good ole M 1?
We carried those in boot camp.
Where did you go for bootcamp? In Orlando, we had 1903 Springfields with the barrels filled with lead. They get really heavy when you hold them out in front of you for an extended period of time while the CC is yelling at you!
San Diego. I always thought they were M-1s with the lead filled barrel. During our 16 count manual arms, we were told to slap the stock. The harder the better. Our CC promised extra liberty if we could crack those stocks.Where did you go for bootcamp? In Orlando, we had 1903 Springfields with the barrels filled with lead.

This is a 1903 Springfield. The "Bolt Action" on ours was welded in place - likely from the lead in the barrel and receiver. Many of the guns had a "plasticky" stock that you could probably drop from the roof of the three-story barracks right onto the grinder and it still wouldn't break!
This is an M-1 Garand
And while we are at it:
It's been 43 years. The stocks in the picture don't look like I remember but that doesn't mean anything. I inherited my dad's H&R 65, a .22 caliber trainer built to emulate the M-1. I remember the stocks we tried to crack as being closer to what we had in San Diego... I'll see if I can find my Anchor book from RTC San Diego and see if there is enough detail in the pictures.This is a 1903 Springfield.

Douglas Wilson of Moscow Idaho, and friends with Pete Hegseth, sec of War, uses the King James, but for different reasons that the Typical IFB KJVO crowd.
No problem if ones uses the kjv based upon its style, literary reading and sounding, used in church etc but big issues when go to KJVO
