Ever since reading about Isaac Asimov's annoyance at Roddenberry's use of a split infinitive in this line, I can't help but pause and reform the words every time I read it or hear it. "To boldly go..." or "To go boldly..." Happily, they both work well, in my mind, but as someone who seeks to use grammar correctly, I often speak it as "to go boldly...". Trek fans often catch the switch and thus a conversation is started. First about grammar, and then about Star Trek. Win win!

So, because the Romans were unable to split an infinitive, because it was a single word, we shouldn't be allowed to do so?
You posted about it on the internet, in English; which is something else the Romans couldn't do.
So what you two are saying is that Captain Kirk was a Roman?
Exactly, Stephen. After all, his middle name was Tiberius.
