Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

neutral

Anne de Freyman: do you recommend the split infinitive?

0 min

-> In this case, yes. I think the phrase is sufficiently widely used to almost be a compound verb and the infinitive is not **very** split.

agree

Philippe Maillard

10 mins

-> Thanks Philippe

agree

Pierre Renault: Nothing wrong with splitting infinitives. Our Mission: To boldly go where no translators has gone before.

11 mins

-> Thanks Pierre. I shall endeavour to go boldly rather than to boldly go. Interesting mix of singular verb and plural noun - it all makes language sooo interesting!

agree

Bourth: To make use of it commercially (it may have been used before, to fill in holes or something ...). And I wouldn't split hairs about splitting infinitives when it enables me to more easily achieve what I want (as opposed to what I want more easily)

40 mins

-> humm ... expensive holes.
