Curious, does anyone believe (those who are KJV only) you must have the Pure Cambridge Edition of the King James Bible?

Only gullible idiots.

The main problem with the PCE is that it's out of print and therefore only available from secondhand bookstores, so it would seem that God is not  doing a very good job of preserving His word since he allowed it to go out of print.
Also if the PCE is the One True Bible then that means that until about 1880 everyone was using the wrong Bible.

The final form of the King James Bible is the Pure Cambridge Edition (circa 1900), which conforms to the following:

1. "or Sheba" not "and Sheba" in Joshua 19:2
2. "sin" not "sins" in 2 Chronicles 33:19
3. "Spirit of God" not "spirit of God" in Job 33:4
4. "whom ye" not "whom he" in Jeremiah 34:16
5. "Spirit of God" not "spirit of God" in Ezekiel 11:24
6. "flieth" not "fleeth" in Nahum 3:16
7. "Spirit" not "spirit" in Matthew 4:1
8. "further" not "farther" in Matthew 26:39
9. "bewrayeth" not "betrayeth" in Matthew 26:73
10. "Spirit" not "spirit" in Mark 1:12
11. "spirit" not "Spirit" in Acts 11:28
12. "spirit" not "Spirit" in 1 John 5:8

Short answer - NO

Long answer - NO

Any questions?

All of those differences are incredibly trivial and inconsequential.

Especially considering that (IMHO) the KJV is far from the best translation available anyway. It was state of the art in its day, but its day was 400 years ago.

All of those differences are incredibly trivial and inconsequential.

And only three of them actually change the sense of the reading, to boot.

Ironic, isn't it - the KJV has nearly 800,000 words, and yet the "pure" edition is determined only by 12 insignificant shibboleths.

Not concerned with the words.  Some are concerned with the lack of capitalization of perceived terms of deity, or capitalization of terms that aren't perceived as terms of deity. That, at least,  is somewhat legitimate to discuss, imo.

Nope.  Mountains out of mouse turds again.

Upper and lower case do not exist in Hebrew. The Greek manuscripts used all upper case. 

Of course, if you are one of those idiots who think the KJV corrects the originals, you might think it's a big deal.    :
