Well what d'ya know. So I guess it must come (ref to anal latin teachers)
from there being some rule in latin grammer that such infinitives shouldn't
have another word inserted between them? Whereas english has alowed this

actually one quote I always liked (can't remember from whom) is that
"grammer is the dead husk left as a language evolves"
