..here to report that I am not in fact Janie, but am just as likely, if not more, to sing off key in any given situation.
Speaking of splitting infinitives reminds me of ending sentences with prepositions (as opposed to propositions, which don't cross my threshold often these days).
... one of my favorite Churchill quotes is attributed to the great man in response to a woman (naturally) who brought to his attention the commission of aforementioned sin (preposition, not proposition). He is reputed to have said, "Madame, that is the kind of criticism up with which I will not put!"
