farther / further
Farther, the comparative form of far, refers to
1) physical distance
2) physical space in actual measurements
Example:
Emily, don't walk farther down the road.
Further refers to thought or discussion and indicates additional or greater detail.
Example:
Let's have further thoughts about it and talk tomorrow.
Further may refer to figurative space, but not to physical space.
Example: what you say can't be much further from the truth.

Herb has a bald head, and it shines I think he polishes it..
Word that are spelt the same spelt differently and sound different are hard to remember which one to use.
God bless.
