Der berühmte, gesprochene Einleitungstext zu den ersten beiden "Star Trek"-Serien enthält bekanntlich die Formulierung "to boldly go where no man [in STNG: no one] has gone before". "to boldly go" ist ein als falsch oder zumindest unschön geltender zerteilter Infinitiv, der beispielsweise Douglas Adams zu dieser wunderbaren Parodie inspirierte: "In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centuari were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri. 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."

Fast noch feiner ist aber diese -- soeben gefundene -- Regel:
"In no case is it okay to accidentally or intentionally split an infinitive with more than one word."
