Re: Farther vs. Further
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Look them up in the dictionary. Two completely different words. [/ QUOTE ]  [/ QUOTE ] strictly speaking, Ya RLY. but like i said in my edit, i do acknowledge that these words now tend to be treated interchangeably. however, in the strictest sense, farther is meant to relate to physical distance while further is meant to relate to temporal distance.

Re: Farther vs. Further
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Look them up in the dictionary. Two completely different words. [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] The worst dictionary in the universe. Anyone who wants to do themselves a favor should never, ever, EVER use this dictionary except for a very rough idea of what a word means. Usage is AWFUL, definitions are often perfunctory if not half-arsed. Citing dictionary.com should be a bannable offense; failing that, it should at least be recognized as a code for surrendering an argument. Holy crap or Good Lord, or whatever -- what is this nation coming to? I look forward to Nintendo's ventures into the language and grammar fields.

Joker, try American Heritage or Webster's. Blarg, you're being a nit and dictionary.com is right a lot more often than it's wrong. I'm letting you both off with a warning. Next time it's an arrest. Friggin' nits.

Re: Farther vs. Further

[ QUOTE ] This poll is stupid. Both are used for different purposes. They are not the same. [/ QUOTE ] Explain. [/ QUOTE ] It was explained very well at the end of that movie where Sean Connery played some eccentric writer mentoring some basketball player. Edit - Finding Forrester.

If it's not allowed here ... well, I'm just not sure you know what thread you're in. Example of someone I would not kick out of bed for screwing up this extremely elementary mistake: females.

Re: Farther vs. Further

however, in the strictest sense, farther is meant to relate to physical distance while further is meant to relate to temporal distance. [/ QUOTE ] hmm, I thought farther applied to both space and time, whereas further just means a greater degree (e.g., nothing could be further from the truth). Further Farther

Further Farther [/ QUOTE ] you are probably right - i couldn't think of how to describe "greater degree" and in my haste, may have described farther twice. i probably should have said "figurative distance", not temporal distance, to describe further, but are you sure that further can't also refer to time? mea culpa.
