The Odiious SPLIT INFINITIVE

An infinitive is a verb form that
means "to" something.  Not to as "towards" or "to your health",
but rather in:

      "to work"  (as Voltaire's character Candide might say 
or "to scream" (as Edvard Munch's "The Scream" might have had
to say, when it was being stolen.  (Oh, not again; ref: [42: Petunias; decry-ing]

So, far I haven't had the chance to perforce split an infinitive. 
And, I would only to completely willing to quickly illustrate this
accomplised act. However, far be it for me to ever refrain from
actions which could lead to something. ["to something" is a
prepositional phrase and NOT an infinitive.

Now, in keeping with Jackson Pollock's assessment, that
in the post-atomic-bomb era, the techniques available to "classical"
artists are simply in-sufficient to the needs [prep phrase, again]
of the artist.
