Research done by Edward P. Bailey, noted professor and business communication author, affirms that it is OK to split infinitives in written business communication.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


True

In written business communication, it is OK to split infinitives (e.g., "Try to effectively film the next scene" is a perfectly acceptable sentence, even though "effectively" is inserted between "to" and "film."). If you follow this principle, your writing not only will sound more natural but also will flow more easily. See 5-5: Write High-Impact Messages: Breaking through the Clutter
