Not so much a split infinitive as a preposition at the end of a sentence!

I'm sure Eryn will explain it properly, but it should be 'I'm just wondering to whom I might have given the wrong idea'. Sounds a bit formal though

and why can't you put prepositions at the end of a sentence?

Good, thanks, and interesting! Breakfast on the patio, visited the botanical gardens, hire car broke down in a tunnel (listened to Lee on MP3 player while waiting for replacement), looked in Cathedral etc.

She certainly had very different ideas from the poor woman who she was finding a bloke for. It involved her family and friends scouting round for suitable men and culminated in them meeting at a party surrounded by all their friends and relatives. What a nightmare social situation
Trouble is, it worked and my mum said she thought it was a great idea. Now I have visions of her emailing everyone she knows to hunt out potential husbands

I've never understood what the difference between "who" and "whom" is either
remind me how I got an A* on GCSE English Language?

'to go' is an infinitive
'to boldly go' is a split infinitive
It's split if a word comes between 'to' and the verb
