FARTHER v. FURTHER

Farther refers to actual distance; further refers to figurative distance and means "to a greater degree" or "to a greater extent."
·  The drive from the airport was farther (in actual distance) than we expected.
·  Let's plan to discuss the tournament proposal further (to a greater extent).
·  You can hike farther than I because you are in better shape.
·  We shall go no further with this argument.
