    I don’t see any comments of people taking issue with it. But words do mean things, and some people like to speak with precision.

      The title correcting it to further is what caught my attention, but no, I’m not seeing people taking huge issue with it either.

      And there’s nothing wrong with being correct, I like to be eloquent too.

      I was just saying farther is just as correct as further, and found it interesting is all. They may have been misused a hundred years ago, but not for a long long time, they have identical meanings nowadays!
