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!

I love that article!
