Oh sure, blame me.
I read today that the kerfuffle over the presidential oath of office likely happened because Chief Justice Roberts is overly attached to the bogus rule against split infinitives.
The grammarian Fowler was largely responsible for demonizing constructions like, "to boldly go where no man has gone before," but I had always thought that he pulled the rule out of his butt. Turns out he justified it by the fact that Latin infinitives are a single word, and concluded that English infinitives should not be split.
I guess you gotta know where to draw the line. Oh, that probably applies to the OP, too.
