You say farther; I say further


Every since I watched the movie Finding Forester, I have tried to educate the world on the difference between FARther and Further. I did not recognize the difference between the two words. Now I know and I want you to know!

Notice in FARther the word FAR. Far, of course, is marking a distance. Therefore, farther is noting an item or a thing that is away, not close, or at a distance. If you want to go into more depth about an idea then you would discuss it further.

I hear it misused probably every day. Do you? Let's discuss it FURTHER!
