Well, Elsie, very often you and I dont agree on many issues, but on this issue of demanding that one must use only the KJV of the Bible, I am in complete agreement with you...
I also agree with you about the teenagers...tho my younger son is now 32, I rarely understand what he is talking about, when he decides to talk to me about his job(hes an engineer)....at that point, I just roll my eyes, and say, as long as you are good at what you do, and are happy doing it, and you make a fine living, dont give me the details, as I dont understand a word of what you are saying(I guess at that point, having an 'interpreter' would be handy)
Anyway, glad to see that you are open enough to allow for the ability of versions of the Bible, other than the KJV, to be totally acceptable...I will admit, I had you pegged as a KJV only, and I am very glad to find out that I was wrong...
Aha! You've just said you don't read my posts very closely!!

MOST of my Scriptures come from the New International Version (NIV). My headbone memory bank tends to remember a lot of KJV stuff from my youth that I memorized. (I think the NIV came in around 69-73 time frame, so I've daated myself.)
I usually leave the NIV (or ANY version) in front of the verse that I'm posting so folks won't have to look it up.
I also tend to always post the verses about which I am speaking instead of just the reference numbers. (No need for folks to look them up on their own - If I do the work, I get to refresh my memory at the same time!)
