The jury is out on split infinitives. I've heard that was a Victorian
rule, so as to simulate the Romans who *could not* split their

Hey, Ellipsis is still one of my favorites too. Vice-President Crusher

I've got some relief coming to save this story line, but he's kind of
stuck in 1954 right now. :-D Who knows what trouble the world will get
