    Nicked from the Washington Post live chat on the Inaugural speech:

    Charlottesville, Va.: Yep, Chief Justice Roberts messed up the oath. He said "...to execute the office of the President faithfully" instead of "to faithfully execute the office...". At the publishing company where I work, we suspect that he was instinctively avoiding splitting the infinitive. However, Mr. Strict Constructionist Chief Justice, one should not edit the Constitution, not even for sound grammatical purposes!
