I looked up split infinitive on the interdweeb (to better my understanding of grammar) and found this:
Some people believe that split infinitives are grammatically incorrect and should be avoided at all costs. They would rewrite these sentences as:
She used secretly to admire him.
You really have to watch him.
But there’s no real justification for their objection, which is based on comparisons with the structure of Latin. People have been splitting infinitives for centuries, especially in spoken English, and avoiding a split infinitive can sound clumsy. It can also change the emphasis of what’s being said.

I'm more shocked by his use of the word SPASTIC - what! doesn't he know you're not allowed to use that word any more????? He could offend people with that![]()
