[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cartman: [QB] [i]Can someon explain the "split infinitive"?[/i] I should really leave the details to Timmy, because he lives for this kind of thing and I don't want to spite him too much, but I shall offer mine just so I can showcase my own VAST knowledge of English. B) Now then. A split infinitive is an infinitive that has one or more adverbs between its "to" and "verb" components, which is clearly UNGRAMMATICAL since the Latin infinitive is a single word and so the English construction should also be treated as if it were one unit and people who persist in splitting them open should be hanged from the highest tree and have their livers picked out by ravens. And while we're listing favorites, I SO despise the proles who always mix up [URL=http://flare.solareclipse.net/ultimatebb.php/topic/9/233/2.html#000016]"there" and "their"[/URL]. Such ignorami fill me with rage, man. RAGE. [/QB][/QUOTE]
