Splitting, by definition, is dividing something into two.

Sorry Mary, but you started the pedant sub-thread!

My dictionary has "breaking/dividing something into two *two or more
parts*" (including hairs!)

Which dictionary? And is that an exact quote?

It's wrong.

It's right when splitting is dividing something between people, e.g.
splitting the proceeds. But splitting logs is different.
