- Christianity
When asked what Bible translation they want to use, most people say a "literal" one. By that they generally mean a word-for-word translation, and they mistakenly think this means "accurate." But even words don't have a "literal" meaning, no translation translates word-for-word, and word-for-words does not produce an accurate translation, regardless of the marketing hype you may have read.
