Many readers point out:

The Chicago Manuel of Style has not frowned on split infinitives since 1983. “In this day and age, it seems, an injunction against splitting infinitives is one of those shibboleths whose only reason for survival is to give increased meaning to the lives of those who can both identify by name a discrete grammatical, syntactic, or orthographic entity and notice when that entity has been somehow besmirched.”

We wouldn’t be conservatives if we didn’t reject such radical ideas, right? (Not that I have ever been so reckless…)
