You mean that if your child fails the english exam, he or she could use that excuse - "everyone has their own interpretation..."
Or should it be "evury wun haz thair owne entirpretashion."
The Bible has been accurately translated and printed in English.
Sorry, your argument fails when it comes to reading and comprehension of the Bible.
I believe you mean that translations of the bible have been translated into english, because there are no original manuscripts to directly translate into our language. It's copies of copies. even the dead sea scrolls, which may be the oldest writings we have, weren't original. So yeah, I find the english translations skeptical.
