An infinitive is the form of a verb that is applicable to everything (hence the word-stem "infinite") Examples, To go, to split, to run to do, to make.<br/><br/>The correct grammatical structure when using an infinitive is to keep the "to" next to the verb. "I am going to hurt you", "He dared to jump of the moving train".<br/><br/>If you wish to add an adverb to the infinitive it should be placed before or after the infinitive - usually after.<br/><br/>"The woman was trying to scream loudly".<br/><br/>The split infinitive in the Star Trek opening titles is world famous and was lampooned by Douglas Adams in the opening speach to the third episode of he original radio series of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy:<br/><br/>"In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were<em>real </em>men, women were<em>real </em>woman and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were<em>real</em>small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri. And all dared to brave unknown terrors, to do mighty deeds, to boldly split infinitives that no man had split before and thus was the Empire forged".<br/><br/>So, yes...<br/><br/>I try not to be a Grammar Nazi.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>By the way I do hope those two testosterone junkies are not going to end up in sick bay?
