Farther and further are actually different words and should be used differently. It's not some old to-may-to/to-mah-to pronounciation hold-out.
Is the store farther or further down the road?
This one is easy.
Farther actually means "more distant" or "more advanced."
Further indicates "additional" or advancement to a greater degree, as in time.
The store is farther down the road.
You read further into the textbook.
Question:
Do you farther or further your education by reading further into the textbook?
Let me know.....
