Yes. My mother accepted that “to boldly go” could put the stress on the adverb, and there was no harm in it. But it was still fingernails down the blackboard for her. Like reading “might of” instead of “might have” does to me. That doesn’t really matter - the new ‘alternative’ form is shorter, and it is all just symbols for meanings when you come down to it. But, icky!
