Well, is that phrase an example of technical writing?

Cheers,

Sean

Okay. Bad example. Let's try another one. It is grammatically incorrect
to split infinitives. Yet, the phrase, "To boldly go where no man has
gone before," is famous in cult classic TV history. I don't think that,
"To go boldly where no man has gone before," would have sounded nearly
as cool.
