Seen this one many times before. Never fails to amuse, especially since I encounter these sorts of problems in my work every day. So, what's the most famous split infinitive, and how would you correct it? "To boldly go where no one has gone before," and you don't.

Failed right out the gate! How to write WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm screwed!
I don't think you got the point of the post, did you?
That's the point. Everything written was a contradiction.
This is so clever. :)
The original is in Italian, isn't it?
Oooh, you are too smart for us. I bet you are a barrel of laughs at parties, though.

You also fail. Glass houses and such (I love cliches and parenthetical statements!)
I just love me the english language.
great post - hope there's more where this one came from.
Very good tips for students and for me
Anyone else confused this for a second for "how to write a good (facebook status)"?
This is obviously over your head
He write this good, and to all who don't get it, do not comment as you will just sound like an illiterate oaf. Simple.
Might understand it if i could read it!
That's the joke.
Should be How to write well

Wow, Katie. Wow.
Me and Garrison, being English majors, highly approve. Writing good is a virtue!

It should be "How to Write Well".
Kind of painful about the alliteration, I'm going to miss it. I grew up watching Adam West as Batman, after all.
What's even funnier are the people that really don't get it!
lol that is brilliant.
