- FARTHER or FURTHER: You would walk to the (farther, further) side of the room, but you would need to think (farther, further) about whether the action would be necessary.
- In modern English, further has emerged as the more common term, and can be used in abstract and metaphorical contexts, including with regard to time, where it is unusual to see farther. (‘We intend to stay a further two weeks.’) But when it comes to physical distance – further down the road, farther down the road – both words are acceptable. If you are writing or speaking in a formal context, it may be better to stick to the traditional abstract/physical distinction.
