Is Star Trek's iconic introduction quote - "to boldly go" - actually grammatically incorrect? The line features at the front of episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation, spoken by their respective Enterprise captains, and arguably sounds a lot more poetic than the alternative, "to go boldly," might have. Despite this, it's actually been a subject of some controversy among grammar enthusiasts.
Luckily, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry did not follow the conventional grammar rule creating one of the most immediately memorable elements of the Star Trek brand. Grammatically, it may not be entirely correct, but the rule behind criticisms of "to boldy go" as a split infinitive itself may not be entirely right. And most importantly, the phrase still does make sense.

Grammar Trek is a well-researched series based on the principles highlighted in the National Education Policy. The rationale behind developing the series is to simplify grammar teaching and integrate play way techniques while teaching grammar rules. Drawing from the best of both structuralism and constructivism, the series follows an eclectic approach to teaching of grammar and paves way for learning. Key highlights of the grammar course are given below:
Grammar Trek for classes 1-8. Please find below some of the important highlights of the course and how it provides an edge to a learner and a teacher.
1. Treatment of Language as a Whole: One of the biggest drawbacks in English Language Teaching in India is treating language in a compartmentalized way: fragmentation of language and teaching the parts-grammar, syntax separately devoid of any context. This fragmentation leads to confusion in the minds of the learners who are non native speakers of English language. Thus one of the rationales of Grammar Trek is to provide scope for integration of skills woven into contexts. Thus the activities --Let's Begin and Fun Time are tasks that combine other language skills like listening, speaking, reading, writing, dictionary referencing, vocabulary /word skills while learning grammatical concepts.
2. Contextualization: NCF' 2005 and National Policy on Education 2020 strongly suggest contextualization, a variety of contemporary themes have been woven in the grammar curriculum that provides learners an opportunity to know about their natural, social and emotional environment. Themes like odd-even formula, bad air quality index, bike path implementation, rock garden, rise of selfie deaths, digitalization, protecting the monuments, girl child etc have been integrated in the curriculum.
A conscious and deliberate attempt has been made to make learners aware about their surroundings - know about the country and the world and be sensitive to social issues. Even themes like child safety (good and bad touch), child labour finds its way through the stories and contexts woven in the text.
3. Gradation: Grammar Trek envisages to make grammar teaching easy for learners, thus emphasis at every stage has been to revoke an oral tradition and integrate listening and speaking tasks. Games like snakes and ladders, dice games, tambola have been customized as grammar games. Children enjoy rolling a dice and & learning about grammatical concepts. All kinds of tasks for addressing differentiation in the classrooms have been integrated and mapped in 8 key stages forming a spiral curriculum.
The Associated Press wire service has been shaping writing, grammar and style choices around the world since its founding in 1846. As the leading authority of writing style in journalism, AP publishes the Associated Press Stylebook and updates it yearly to reflect changing style preferences for grammar, politics, culture, and every other topic covered in publications around the world. AP editors track popular usage as well as newsroom trends, expert commentary and classroom questions to determine appropriate changes to the guide.
AP style no longer supports printing (sic) in quotations to indicate misspellings or incorrect grammar. Instead, paraphrase the quote, print it as it was said if the speaker emphasized the part that does not comply with AP style, or use an ellipses to cut out the part of the sentence in question. Do not rewrite quoted text, even if the quote does not agree with AP style.
As part of the entry, AP has removed the hyphen when referencing dual heritage. That means terms like African American and Asian American are no longer hyphenated. This extends to non-American dual heritages as well. The example AP uses is Turkish German to refer to a German person of Turkish descent.
The hyphen entry is found in the punctuation chapter. In addition to the dual heritage reference changes detailed above, AP has loosened the rule about hyphens in compound modifiers and other uses. As a general rule, hyphens are to be used to aid reader comprehension. If the inclusion of a hyphen is unnecessary because the reader will understand the sentence regardless, exclude the hyphen. For example, chocolate chip cookie is unlikely to be less understood than chocolate-chip cookie. However, a hyphen would be helpful in the case of French-speaking people, particularly if the story involves people who have taken a vow of silence. This means that hyphenation can now be decided on a case by case basis. If a sentence ends up with too many hyphens despite their use in aiding comprehension, AP recommends rephrasing.
The 2019 AP Stylebook contains some brand new entries related to new developments in world culture, technology and politics. These include cryptocurrency, deepfake, vaping, right-to-work and others. Note that new entries often relate to new concepts or developments in the world, and likely should be explained on first use.
In addition to terms and style choices, AP style covers the correct references to nations around the world. As nations and borders change, so does AP style. In the 2019 edition, the following changes have been incorporated:
AP now officially supports the use of split infinitives to aid comprehension and ease of reading. A split infinitive is when another word, usually an adverb, appears between to and an infinitive form of a verb, as illustrated in the quote above.
The style guide includes additional chapters following the reference section of alphabetized terms, including separate sections on punctuation, business reporting, understanding polls and surveys, interacting with social media, sports, fashion and food reporting, as well as a briefing on media law. The 2019 edition includes a new chapter on health and science to aid reporters in writing on this complicated and often contentious topic.
Health and science reporting must be done especially carefully, as the personal decisions readers may make after reading a story will likely have much greater impact on their quality of life than stories related to other topics. The new section covers how to evaluate potential medical stories, how to read, understand and evaluate studies, scientific journals and when to use colloquialisms like high blood pressure as opposed to hypertension.
