Gah! Here we are talking syntax and I've only bloody gone and split an infinitive :/

I see nothing wrong with split infinitives.Going out of your way to avoid them just sounds forced to me.

Not splitting infinitives comes from Latinwhere the infinitive is one word so can't be split anyway.
There's absolutely no reason you shouldn't split inifinitives in English, although it's often somewhat ugly and so best avoided on that basis, it also sometimes aids clarity.
