Bloggin’ away Photo by Rick Diana Frances Spencer was born into British aristocracy at Park House, Sandringham in Norfolk, England on 1st July 1961. I think that I first knew about her when I was only a child and I´m pretty sure that almost everybody has heard of Lady Di for her charity work, public scandals or for the media pressure around her fashionable image. But the truth is that she was the first British citizen to marry an heir to the British throne in almost 300 years. Their sons, Princess William and Harry are second and third in line to the throne of the United Kingdom. When Diana was 16, she met Prince Charles for the first time when he was dating her eldest sister, Lady Sarah. They soon began to have big problems like Charles’ long standing affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, Diana´s suicide attempts and bulimia. Among the charities she worked with, were homeless, youth, drug addicts and elderly organizations.

If you want to remember what a split infinitive is, just remember what might be the most famous example: Star Trek's “to boldly go where no one has gone before.” The Latin Origin of the Split Infinitive Rule Many sources say the origin of the misguided rule against splitting infinitives in English comes from a devotion to Latin that was prominent in the late 1800s.
