| May 4, 2018 at 20:19 | comment | added | user3169 | @WeatherVane Actually both "to not" or "not to" can be used, the difference being in emphasis. | |

changed order of "to not"

| May 4, 2018 at 20:00 | comment | added | Weather Vane | Firstly I would make the request "I am asking you not to chew gum." Secondly if asked, I would reply "I will not chew gum, as you asked", to simplify a clumsy sentence. | |
