Re: Error Condition --> split infinitiveFrom: DoctorJoe@aol.comSat Dec 3 11:47:26 2005

> I found these links quite instructive... And if you read further down the page: Descriptively speaking, split infinitives are common in most varieties of English. However, their status as part of the standard language is controversial. In the 19th century, some grammatical authorities sought to introduce a prescriptive rule that split infinitives should not be used in English. Most authorities from the last 100 years, however, agree that this rule was misguided, and indeed that the split infinitive construction can sometimes reduce ambiguity. So to universally condemn (or to condemn universally, or universally condemn) split infinitives is not mainstream, it seems. Joe P.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
