I don't know if i'm exactly right about the split infinitive but i know it exists in english. In the siamo contro il mondo example, if you put a word in between the siamo and contro you split the infinitive (I'm guessing the infnitive in contrare) Don't worry i'm probably making things up.

i'm not really sure witht the grazie thing but grazie doen't mean thanks, it mean thankyou. Thanks is more slang and it makes you think its plural when its probably singular

when we went we said grazie molto and then our teacher told us to say grazie mille because we sounded like yobbo's!

It was so cute though cos the otherteacher who went with us who spoke no italian (she had to ask us what 'no' in Italian was) was trying to get her suitcasea cross the bridge near the train station in Venice and this guy helped her across and she had no idea what he said to her but she just said ''grasie mille' and she was so proud to of remembered it!
