Filmbuff:"to boldly go where no man has gone before". Grammar paramga, ideally one should say - "to go boldly" and not "to boldly go".

Rajusk:vinadaniki baagundi ee sentence..meaning teliyakapoina
Splitting infinitive ante - putting another word between "to" and the verb in a line. For instance, the most famous split infinitive is from Star Trek - "to boldly go where no man has gone before". Grammar paramga, ideally one should say - "to go boldly" and not "to boldly go". Predicative normative ante more detailed ga - ikkada, http://grammar.about.com/od/pq/g/predicatenominativeterm.htm My grouse has been the edict that one should always say "It is i" and not "It is me" as the predicate nominative is ideally I. But it sounds silly to use I. |

 We're so quick to point out our own flaws in others. |

http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/aug/15/steven-pinker-1 0-grammar-rules-break Folks interested in English should read this. Extremely long but fascinating and entertaining . Debunks many of the myths around some of the grammar rules and how we should have the flexibility to use the commonly misused version instead, obviously under certain conditions. Has a lot of historical background, literary references to make the point. I really liked the points on splitting infinitives and the predicative nominative. The latter really used to get my goat. |
