I can't really agree with you there. I've been writing professionally for about twenty years now and there is no way to fight the evolution of a living language. It's not worth the time it takes to explain that such as is a two-word preposition and including is a transitive verb. The opening sequence for one of the most iconic television series of all time, Star Trek, shamelessly repeats (see what I did there?) a split infinite. If it doesn't sound awkward, print it or post it.
