== Split infinitives ==
For the new editor adding the material to the infinitives section, please provide a source before adding the material again. Please also familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's policy on [[Wikipedia:BRD|reverting and discussing]].
A relevant source is needed because many people have their opinions on English, but it may not be the case that a particular opinion is held in high regard by [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]], or that those sources think a particular fact has any bearing on a topic. As editors, we don't note our opinions here; only the opinions of reliable sources. Thanks for your interest. [[User:Airborne84|Airborne84]] ([[User talk:Airborne84|talk]]) 19:43, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
