Grammar 101...
TheDistantHeart:
Got a few more questions!
What are the rules for further and farther?
And when do you use who and whom? Same thing for what and which.
I'm never sure if I use them correctly, so I just pick the one that seems the most correct to me. But I'm always afraid I picked the wrong one!
A-RokzStalker:
This is how I've always thought it to be:
Further = More
Farther = Longer distance
Examples:
1. "Are there any further questions about the assignment?"
2. "I'm too tired to hike any farther."
Not positive, but that's what I've always believed.

Aww, I didn't know there was a National Punctuation Day! I could have celebrated with my class! And next year it will probably be on a Saturday. Boo!
