KJV Words that Mean Something Different Now

I like the KJV but just can't get past the language differences.  I switched to another version when I got tired of translating the old english words to modern english in my head while I was reading.  I also understood that there were words in the KJV that had a different meaning in the 17th century than they do now in the 21st century, although I didn't know which ones.  I found this list through a link on a SEBTS professor's blog.  If you've ever wondered you can look for yourself.
