To start with this blog, my first entry will be about the history of English and its development. The English language is made up of mostly latin words and has changed over time. This can be shown as the English in someone lets say Shakespeare time was much different as it is today with the addition of technology humans have abbreviated most words due to the ease of texting such words like 'by the way' can be said 'btw', 'laugh out loud' can be abbreviated to 'lol', etc. Shakespeare played a very important role in the English language as he invented many words that are used today, likewise, the Scientist such as newton have invented a new world for different discoveries each scientist is responsible for words like 'ovary', 'gravity', etc.
King James bible was introduced in 1611, this was the King James IV and I version which was an English translation. A little background about King James IV and I born in 1566 he was a Scottish King James IV from July 1567 and also was the King of England and Ireland but was considered as K James I, hence the named King James IV and I, his death was recorded to be 1625. He made the King James bible which had terms include, Psalms 23:4 "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me" (source: By This Shall All Men Know That Ye Are My Disciples, If Ye Have Love One to Another. "King James Bible." POPULAR BIBLE VERSES. N.p., n.d. Web. 06 Sept. 2016.). This paved the way for the English language that we know today.
