What’s up with split infinitives?

Some people make a big fuss about splitting infinitives, but most experts do not. As long as the meaning of your sentence doesn’t change depending on where you place the adverb, you’re fine.

TL;DR: Split infinitives are no longer viewed as errors.

But because many teachers still think they are incorrect, put the adverb after “to” and the “verb.” Since you won’t be able to change your teacher’s mind, your best move is to do what he or she says (until you move on from that class).
