durian Posted December 5, 2014 Like many of the rules policed by self-appointed grammarians (not referring to you here, Jeff) the prohibition on split infinitives - as with the grammarian's more general notion of 'correct' usage - is highly dubious. Though that's not to say that not splitting the infinitive wouldn't sound/read better in this case - as it is, it is a little clunky. 0 Share this post Link to post

Yes, it tripped me up when reading it. 0 Share this post Link to post
