Star trek intellectual? In the sense that it splits infinitives, is American flag waving bullshit, wraps itself in a cloak of self aggrandisement that is neither born out by the content or premiss? I always found it painfully slow, long winded and unsurprising.

I know we Hancockians stick together but, I must take issue on splitting infinitives !
There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing it imo.

Wow...
You must have been the fat kid that sat on his own under a tree reading famous five books while the rest of us ran around pretending to be Jedi Knights!

Are you saying to frequently split infinitives is not ultimately a bad thing?

Time and a place billwill, time and a place.
It's what sounds right for me not what is or isn't grammatically correct.
To use your example I would say . .
Are you saying that frequently splitting infinitives is, ultimately, not a bad thing?
> I would say

So would I probably, normally, but it was meant to be a subtle joke.
You're all mad!

Jon Ronson did something on this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rw4q3
Featuring an interesting interview with Adam Buxton, describing his possible Intermittent Explosive Disorder.
Journalist becomes the story.
"brand new anchor's first words on air are 'f**king shit'... and now he's suspended"
I don't think I can watch the video, that's so embarrassing. Poor bastard.
I was more taken with the "keep on f**king that chicken" video. Beautiful reaction from the co-host.
