“And all dared to brave unknown terrors, to do mighty deeds, to boldly split infinitives that no man had split before – and thus was the Empire forged.” – Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I’ve been interested in language and usage for as long as I can remember. I took Latin for five years in school, partly because the strict rules of grammar appealed to my logical side – it was probably the only humanities subject that I naturally gravitated to.
