Farther vs. Further - Writing tip of the day
I believe there is a scene in Finding Forester that will further clarify the distinction between the two words.
Farther: deals strictly with physical distance
The car chase went much farther then excepted and ended in a fiery mess.
Further: usually deals with metaphorical distance but can also be used for physical distance.
I can not go any further, I feel like I am going to puke.

“It seems that 79 per cent of smartphone users check for their devices within 15 minutes of waking up. A majority - 62 per cent - don't even wait 15 minutes, and grab their phones immediately... On average, we visit the Facebook app or the site 13.8 times during the day, for two minutes and 22 seconds each time... That's roughly a fifth of all the time we spend communicating; it's only slightly less time than we spend texting. On weekends, we check Facebook more than we text. ”
—(via Daily Mail)“So what happened after The Great Unfriending? Facebook became a whole lot more usable as a particular kind of network — the one that lets me see what actual friends and family are doing, including those who are far away... Except for my teenaged daughters, of course, who don’t even use Facebook any more, preferring to spend all their time on Tumblr and Twitter. That’s just one of the things that should worry Mark Zuckerberg, I think.”
