To boldly split

Split infinitives are the pedant’s delight. But let us remember what the father of pedantry, H.W.Fowler said about the subject:

The English-speaking world may be divided into (1) those who neither know nor care what a split infinitive is; (2) those who do not know, but care very much; (3) those who know and condemn; (4) those who know and approve; and (5) those who know and distinguish. . . . Those who neither know nor care are the vast majority, and are happy folk, to be envied by the minority classes.

So don’t make a sentence horrific just to avoid it.
