I was taught that in the negative form of infinitive "not" should be placed just in front of "to", but I have found some examples in my dictionary which is contrary to this rule. For instance, under the entry of "forgo" in Longman American Dictionary, its definition is like "to decide to not do or have something." Is it OK to use in this way or should it have been "to decide not to do or have something"?
