Tentatively I'm using the NASB ratings for this Bible version, as it claims to remain true to the NASB tradition. I will make corrections as I review it.
As a general observation, "literal" is frequently equated with "accurate," which is not necessarily the case. It is important to consider the audience when deciding on a version to use.
