Ah, the perfect excuse to pull out Fowler's 'Modern English Usage' (2ed):
"The English-speaking world may be divided into (1) those who neither know nor care what a split infinitive is; (2) those who do not know, but care very much; (3) those who know and condemn; (4) those who know and approve; and (5) those who know and distinguish.
"1. Those who neither know nor care are the vast majority, and are a happy folk, to be envied by most of the minority classes. [...]"
Good manners prevents me from producing his comments about categories 2 and 3 ;-)
