Farther Versus Further
Use farther to describe a distance (literal or figurative) that is longer than another or others. He ran farther than all his competitors. The Voyager probes have travelled farther than all other man-made objects.
Use further to desribe a distance that extends past a specific point. He ran further than the finish line. The Voyager probes have travelled further than the orbit of Pluto.
Prefer farthest over furthest.
Pedantic? Yes.
