Marge goes further or goes farther?

I think the latter is correct!

Actually, 'further' is more correct. In most cases 'farther' and 'further' are so synonymous that it really doesn't matter as far as meaning is concerned. Both mean ' of greater distance'.

I live further away from school that you do.
I can throw a ball farther than you can.

Only a pedantic grammarian would pull you up.

Maybe Turnoi or Amused would argue the point?

While watching EPL, ads at half-time re cars have appeared claiming said autos go further. And it's not only US car adverts that say this. It annoys me a tad!

English is going to the dogs imo!
