I agree and if I had one (I've NEVER had one, but have asked repeatedly),
I'd probably use most of his/her suggestions, but would fight others.

IMO, that is what a professional copyeditor is for! Hope that opinion

I know that this is going to really bug a bunch of you out there, but I
take
the view that 99% of my readers are technically oriented or
conversational
readers...those who want what they read to sound like how they speak.
Go to almost anyone and ask them what a s(p)lit infinitive is and the
vast
majority couldn't tell you and wouldn't care...and in many cases, that
includes me.
