*In a letter written to the London Daily Chronicle*
There is a busybody on your staff who spends far too much of his time
searching for split infinitives. Every good literary craftsman uses a
split infinitive if he thinks the sense demands it. I call for this
man's instant dismissal; it matters not whether he decides to quickly
go or to go quickly or quickly to go. Go he must, and at once.
George Bernard Shaw

Hooray! People should free themselves from the strictures of grammar... if they do so for a point, and knowing full well the rules and why they ignore them.
That is: Just do what you want, but do it for a reason.
