I'm with Mr.Red and not Leadfingers.

It's as difficult to get rid of the 'split infinitives is bad English' error as the 'ostriches bury their head in the sand' mistake.

People were being smartarses when they made the split infinitive point, carrying over a rule from Latin, where it belongs, to English, where it doesn't. They were trying to make English as respectable (in the 18th century) as Latin was.

Present company excepted, it's snobs and the ill-informed who still think it's an error.

And Janie, blaming means not taking one's rightful responsibility (not the same as ALL the responsibility).
