First thing, we believe that every word of God is pure (Pro. 30:5) and to change even one of them is to disobey God's directives on the matter (Pro. 30:6, Rev. 22:19).
Secondly, it is the English language that has deteriorated, not the Words of God. Why should we degrade the words of the living God simply because today's graduates can hardly read?
Thirdly, those words are vital to understanding what a person was saying. "Thee" is different from "you," and "thou" is different from "you" as well. God never promised to preserve the "message" or the "meaning" of the Book: He promised to preserve the WORDS.
That's why we don't mess with the WORDS of God.
