To Intentionally Split

What the hell, let's break some rules.

We're told to never split infinitves.

Most of us don't even know what an infinitve is so how would we know to not freakin' split one?

Here's the simple deal....when you use a verb and you use 'to'in front of it, you have an infinitive. For example.....He went to the store to buy some beer......to buy is an infinitive.....to the store is not because the to isn't followed by a verb which makes it a prepositional phrase.

Ready...now let's split!

The most common way we split an infinitive now a days is to use the ubiquitous f bomb....he went to the store to effing buy some beer.

Now if you want to artificially have class when you split your next infinitive, use an adverb that ends in 'ly' ala Star Trek to boldly go where no man has gone before etc(or in the example above which describes where and how many men and women HAVE gone) to drunkenly buy some more effing beer which uses the original splitting word as a gerund to more colloquially describe beer.

There, now that you know the rule I want you to freakin' intentionally break it for awhile and see if anybody notices. If they do, tell them to directly go to the head of the class etc.
