This is a pre-production site.
This site is projected to be complete when KJV Words You Don’t Know You Don’t Know releases in 2025. It exists because so many people have asked me (Mark Ward) for a complete list of my KJV false friends, and I had to give them something.
KJV False Friends
There are words in the KJV you don’t realize you’re misunderstanding, and they’re called “false friends.”
False friends are words that—not because you’re unintelligent, not because the KJV translators made mistakes, but because of language change over the centuries—you don’t know you don’t know.
This site is dedicated to listing out all the false friends known to me, Mark Ward. It’s the official list to go along with my YouTube channel and books.

Give a man a fish and he’ll read the KJV for a day; teach a man how to fish and he’ll understand the KJV for a lifetime.
