Having flunked a grad-level grammar course because I hadn't yet quite
assimilated the "switchover" from traditional grammar to
"transformational" (ie, "write the rules as you go along, and change
them willy-nilly") grammar, I can assure everyone that the infinitive
can now be split without recrimination. In fact, don't just split it;
jump on it, crush it under foot, humiliate it in public, make it write
bad checks, etc,
