A Split Infinitive?

The word processing program I use, routinely tells me I have created a sentence with a “split infinitive”. “What pray-tell is that?” I’ve always wondered. So I finally got around to looking it up. Apparently, I place myself in good company by doing so, and intend to irreverently continue the practice.
