Giving examples/splitting infinitives

August 6, 2009

If I tell you that there is a debate over whether to split infinitives in writing you know what I mean, right?

Worse, many think that they probably should know, and because they don’t, that I think they’re stupid. At that point they leave. No one wants to be made to feel stupid.
