Splitting an infinitive and starting a sentence with “so” or “like” are all habits that any self-respecting grammar pedant would abhor.
But a new study has found that conventions which prohibit such practises are so widely flouted, they have effectively become part of modern spoken English.
Researchers have suggested that teachers no longer need to advise pupils against splitting infinitives (a rule introduced in the Victorian era) or starting sentences with "so" or "like", since they are now in common parlance.
