I was texting the other day, and came across the dilemma whether to use "farther" or "further," so here is the rule I found.Farther or Further?
Use farther to refer to physical distances.
Example: Indiana is farther than I thought.
Further refers to quantity, time, or degree.
Example: They progressed further on their research.
Farther is an actual or measurable distance.
Further means more or to a greater extent.
The easiest way to remember the difference between the two words is to focus on the far in farther. If you’re not referring to distance, you cannot use farther.
