Split Infinitives

Several weeks ago I met a girl at the book store I was working at. We spoke for a couple of minutes until she told me she was majoring in English.

I said, "Oh, yeah. I'm such a geek, I was reading about split infinitives yesterday."

She viewed me with sympathy and said, "Gawd ... I've never been good at math."

That's too funny! Was it a joke or real? Sadly, I can believe it's real. Thanks for a good laugh anyway.

She was dead serious! Left me a little dazed. Sorry, haven't checked in for a long time, thus my tardy reply.
