Fall.... A poem

@hunkalove I don't usually worry but your comment sparked an intrest.. The dictionary basically says

The case of further and farther has been common enough over the past hundred-plus years that dozens of usage guides have had a crack at coming up with a simple explanation. The most common quick answer is usually something along the lines of "farther is for physical distance and further is for figurative distance." As is often the case, however, simple rules run into the buzzsaw of actual usage.

@Disguised "Farther" is for distance, as in "far." "Further" means "and" as in "also."

@hunkalove further can be used for both according to dictionary...

@Disguised

@rinkydinkydoink Farther and further are both correct
Farther and further are both correct, but they have different meanings and uses in English. The widely accepted rule is to use farther when being literal and discussing a physical distance, and further when discussing a more symbolic distance or to discuss a degree or extent. In American English, there is a stronger distinction between the two forms: ‘Farther’ refers specifically to measurable spatial differences, while ‘Further’ refers to figurative or non-physical things. The words are largely interchangeable.

@Disguised

Did you not see this?: when referring to distance, literal OR figurative, use farther

Otherwise - as far as poetry goes - your effort does the job.

@rinkydinkydoink yes..... But then in my example it states

Farther’ refers specifically to measurable spatial differences, while ‘Further’ refers to figurative or non-physical things.

@Disguised

Anyhow, the English language is constantly changing its rules - for better or for worse.

@rinkydinkydoink .. It's adapts to meet the requirements.... And if it doesn't then change the rules
