    "Farther and farthest are used to refer to a greater physical distance. (I drove farther than he did today.)

    Further and furthest refer to a greater degree or other non-distance quantity. (He wanted to discuss it further.)

    It’s more noticeable when farther is used incorrectly, but further should not be used exclusively."
