5/28    regarding slit infinitives:  In writing, it is better not to split
        infinitives.  In speech, do whatever the fuck you want.  Once you
        master the rule, in writing, feel free to do whatever your writer's
        heart wants.  However, most beginner writers don't know the rule to
        begin with: that splitting infinitives is poor writing style,
        rather than any hard or fast grammar rule.
