Way to go! You know not to trust the MS Grammar Check and you know "no" from "know." Now, go forth and spread the good word (or at least, the proper use of apostrophes).

Uh, wow. That quiz was ridiculously easy.
Here I was expecting questions on the proper use of semi-colons, or split infinitives or something.

I have no idea what a split infinitive is, by the way. I just know it's a grammar thing that.....I don't know.

An example of a correct infinitive would be: to go quietly.

An example of a split infinitive would be: to boldly go.

The rule comes about because in Latin, infinitives are a single word (cf. "amare," "to love" or "videre," "to see") and cannot be split. When the rules of English grammar were codified in the 1600s, Latin was the langauge of scholars, so certain artificial constraints based on Latin were introduced to English. For example, it is considered incorrect to end a sentence with a preposition not because you cannot do so in English, but because you cannot do so in Latin (the object of a preposition MUST follow after it, never precede it.)

This is your random daily dorkdom from Meglet.

I thought you weren't allowed to find me hot. Didn't you tell me that wasn't listed in my abilities in the brochure?

Also I emailed you directionses.
