The most common being \u201cto be.\u201d We rarely use the root form of a verb in conversation, so it is no surprise if you\u2019ve forgotten that its proper name is infinitive.<\/p>\n<p>(By the way, how you know I\u2019m about clear communication rather than grammatical communication is that I wonder how I was let through elementary and junior high grammar. But, I digress.)<\/p>\n<p>Splitting an infinitive is the simple act of putting another word between the \u201cto\u201d and the verb. The most quotable example being <em>Star Trek\u2019s<\/em> \u201c\u2026 to boldly go where no man has gone before.\u201d Truth be told, splitting an infinitive is often awkward and confusing, so it doesn\u2019t happen often. However, there are times when the verb just needs that extra boost. Don\u2019t just go, <u>boldly<\/u> go!<\/p>\n<h2>Second, Language<\/h2>\n<p>The English language is, to put it nicely, weird. This isn\u2019t the time nor place to try to cover all of the language\u2019s oddities \u2013 and, I would surely miss several \u2026 dozen.<\/p>\n<p>For this argument, the oddity of English is that the infinitive is two words. While I cannot speak for every language, most of the languages that English borrows from have single word infinitives. Example, \u201cto be\u201d is etre in French; sein in German; and esse in Latin.<\/p>\n<p>When you split an infinitive in English, you separate two words that are normally next to each other. You are not damaging individual words. To split an infinitive in French, German, or Latin you would have to damage a word! And since that just makes no sense, let\u2019s sum up like this: <span style=\"color: #055a3c;\"><strong>in many languages it is physically impossible to split an infinitive<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Third, Why Latin?<\/h2>\n<p>Why bring up a language that not even the Pope uses in daily conversation? Because for many, Latin is the law of the land when it comes to language.<\/p>\n<p>My limited research tells me that the rule about not splitting infinitives has a murky history \u2013 meaning the origins are debatable. (Which could explain why the \u201cexperts\u201d don\u2019t go into it when explaining why it\u2019s now OK to split an infinitive.)<\/p>\n<p>One theory is that when English started to replace Latin in the lofty halls of scholarship (some time in the 1800s), there needed to be formal rules of grammar. So, rather than create new rules based on the actual language, the laws of Latin were adopted.<\/p>\n<p>I like that argument because grammar snobs are grammar snobs. The transition to English was probably painful and clinging to the familiar rules of Latin might have eased things a bit.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t like that argument because I doubt there was a rule in Latin grammar about splitting infinitives. <span style=\"color: #055a3c;\"><strong>Why make a rule banning something that was physically impossible?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Fourth, the Other Argument<\/h2>\n<p>In Old English, many infinitives were single words \u2013 so splitting them wasn\u2019t an option. As the language evolved, single-word infinitives eventually died away. (I don\u2019t know why.)<\/p>\n<p>The ability to split an infinitive did not mean that people were doing it. It seems to have had periods of popularity. In the mid-1800s, splitting infinitives became popular again and the grammar snobs threw a fit. And, since said grammar snobs were in positions of power, they could formalize the rules they wanted.<\/p>\n<p>This is an argument I can get behind because, well, grammar snobs are grammar snobs.<\/p>\n<h2>Fifth, and Finally<\/h2>\n<p>The long and the short of it is this: because it is physically possible to split an infinitive go ahead and do it, just be sure to make sense.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-855\" src=\"https:\/\/torawriting.com\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Great-Grammar-300x251.png\" alt=\"Great grammar includes the ability to boldly split infinitives\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torawriting.com\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Great-Grammar-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/torawriting.com\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Great-Grammar-768x644.png 768w, https:\/\/torawriting.com\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Great-Grammar.png 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to thank <span style=\"color: #0100ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0100ff;\" href=\"mailto:http:\/\/www.grammarunderground.com\/\">June Casagrande<\/a><\/span>, author of <em>Grammar Snobs Are Great <u>Big<\/u> Meanies<\/em>, for reaffirming my opinion of grammar snobs.
