I like your idea of farther for physical, and then just use further for the rest! <br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-27872531786802504282014-02-18T15:08:29.217-07:002014-02-18T15:08:29.217-07:00We're all guilty of something.We're all guilty of something.shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596621767297173021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-67338816402675166002014-02-17T19:02:36.621-07:002014-02-17T19:02:36.621-07:00I used further in my novel (multiple times) and th...I used further in my novel (multiple times) and thankfully my editor caught it and let me know to use farther and explained why - of course I don't remember now, but it's a word I'm watching out for and as soon as I need it, I'm going to go look at her notes again. :)<br /><br />I learned a few of these things from her that I did not know about.

Not that I think it would stop people from saying "I threw the ball farther than you." It's also perfectly okay, though, to say "I threw the ball further."Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-64109231507070776782014-02-17T11:31:26.825-07:002014-02-17T11:31:26.825-07:00My critique partners corrected me enough time that...My critique partners corrected me enough time that now when I'm in doubt, I just use farther.Alex J.
