Oh English is fine, its just that Americans (ok somewhat gross generalisation but it is kind true) have a tendency of changing the English language.. like Theodore Roosevelt proposed an education plan to change some English words to simplify the language. Words to hard to spell? Lets just change them!.. and words like aluminium they change to aluminum, replace the "s" in words to a "z" [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

But back to topic.. further and farther are used interchangeably [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
