I am not a English liguistic expert but apparently "To boldly go" (or in this case "To proudly go") should be "To go Proudly" (To go boldly" if one was to be using correct English.
Thank you for this, really helpful. Firstly the fedi comes up trumps when it comes to intelligent and civilised responses to what is clearly a emotive subject.
So to conclude on this, I guess it does not matter if we use
'To boldly go', or 'To go boldly', however I would guess the latter then perhaps needs a comma making it To go, boldly (or does it).
I just know people go rather irked by the original English. However I think the use of To go boldly may have had more to do with Patrick Stuart being a shakesperian actor too,
I just try and say or write what makes sense. No one is perfect. If we strive for 100 percent perfection then I, certainly would never write anything.
That makes far more sense to me. But is an interesting area to look at.

@zleap @humanisttrek You're right, it doesn't matter. I agree with @humanisttrek: scientifically arbitrary notions of "correct" and "incorrect" are used even today to include or exclude groups of people.
Modern linguistics has moved away from prescriptivism (telling people what is "correct" English) and toward descriptivism (figuring out how people actually use English -in its many variants).
In the end, the only objective measure of "correctness" of language is how well it conveys meaning.
