Connie, Whether the members of this list, or even the scholarly world in general, decides to stop referring to the 1611 translation as the "King James Version" or not will probably have little effect unless the publishing industry, which makes millions of dollars from selling Bibles, decides to make a change in their practice. I agree that the term "Authorized Version" is probably more accurate, but that will have little effect on the general public which is rather emotionally attached to the "King James Version".
