huh? I didn't see anything grammatically wrong with what you wrote. Anyway, a split infinitive is simply the act of inserting an adverb in an infinitive phrase, such as "to quickly run". A split infinitive is not entirely proper English, but the majority of English speakers use split infinitives regularly. Shakespeare used quite a few of them. But I try to avoid them, since they can create ambiguity. (Thus they are very useful to Central Bankers -g-)

I don't see where you used a split infinitive in that post.
