Seabiscuit - meh
May. 31st, 2004 11:42 amWe watched Seabiscuit last night. It didn't completely suck, but it wasn't the greatest movie I've ever seen either. I'd rate it above mediocre.
Can one of you grammar nazis out there please explain further versus farther to me in a way that doesn't make my brain explode?
I have checked a couple of on-line references, and they do not agree. One suggests that the words are virtually interchangeable at the discretion of the writer, whereas another source suggests that farther is a measure of distance, but further is a measure of time.
Here is the context in which I was using it:
"Here are records back to November, 2003 for this car. I can go back further/farther if you require more data."
