The King James What?

The latest sign of the times from Britain:

More than half of younger people have never heard of the King James Bible, a survey shows.

Fifty-one per cent of under-35s did not know what the Authorised Version was, compared with 28 per cent of over-55s.

The Authorised King James Version, which will be 400 years old next year, took the English language around the world and is thought to be the biggest-selling book ever.

I wonder if the survey results would be much different here in America?
