It's not inevitable at all -- who is the author of language?

It is silly to insist that we all learn Elizabethan English.

You call it "silly" to hold to an exact and perfect presentation of God's word. That's "saddening" but not unsurprising. "Elizabethan English" is readily and easily understood by English speakers of today. There's nothing "silly" about sticking to it.
All attempts at updating the language in the last century have been corruptions. It's "silly" to think this will change.

God cares a lot more about our understanding and obeying than He does about individual words,

Chapter and verse, please? What makes you think that the word God has magnified above his very own name is less important to God than your obedience and understanding of it?

You call yourself "KJV Only" and then bemoan being "saddled" with it. You flinched quite forcefully at being called a humanist in another thread, and yet continue to evince your humanism with this sort of reasoning time after time.
