sorry liv I definitely don't wanna be a duschebag about it, but the infinitive is my baby as far as grammar is concerned cos it is one surviving link between ours and all the other fucked up languages
and split infinitives turn up so frequently in people's speech nowadays that it makes me sick. it simply displays their ignorance to foreign language, if you ask me.
there is a lot of dismay and hurt feelings in this story too, as I have up with not just one but two English professors at this "school for the stupid rich kids" who said that they have no problems with reading a split infinitive.
I know I exaggerate a lot, but there is an itty-bitty grain of sincerity in what I am saying . . .
