It is my guess that he is refering to those that are paraphrased. When it comes to translation, the translators can either translate very close to word for word (literal), or take a complete sentence/theme and paraphrase to make it "easier to understand/better for reading aloud" based on their beliefs or how they see it. This later style is not so good for use when studying the "original" meaning/structure of scripture.
Oh, I see. Thank you for explaining.

However, the [N]RSV Bibles are very "literal" so I would ask Buz what Bibles he has in mind as far as which are the most accurate.
I am fairly sure that Buz's Bible is the KJV, which (correct me if I'm wrong) is considered one of the more error-filled and mistranslated of all of the versions.
