Mg, I am glad to see that my post did not cause you to stop posting. I was getting concerned.

Thanks Jackie! (it will take more than that to get me to stop posting! [dander-up-e] [but not dandruff-up-e!]  ) nah, I was just busy and missed an evening on AWAD....Should not be here tonight, have to model in Belleville tomorrow, all day, and it's an hour and half drive away.

My apologies - I shoulda known it would be too much to introduce that link to a group that doubtless includes people too anal to be able to deal with nude modelling at all.....It is actually a fascinating discussion - but maybe only for those of us (male OR female) who are comfortable with our bodies. (Nevertheless, I have had a PM from someone who intends to check it out, so it certainly wasn't posted in vain. Someone was interested, so there!
Actually, it may have been posted in vain, after all. When I tried to follow the URL I was directed to a login page for the discussion board rather than the thread itself. being not really inclined to join another discussion board I didn't go any further.

Maybe there could be some interesting views on when to use "further" and when to use "farther".

I was a nude model in college and I am a belly-dancer still and now, and I don't care to discuss anal proclivities here. This is not the place.  . I don't think these parts of my life have anything to do with this board, and I politely ask you, immodest goddess, for the last time, to knock it off. If you're looking for "members," I'll be happy to help you find an appropriate internet chat room. Last I heard, AWAD is for word junkies, among whom I count my own bodily/brainly comfortable self.

ASp, others may not share your view, and I'd think you can implement your view, without prejudice to others, by taking an attitude of:
Don't like it, don't read it -- but don't boss it

Though perhaps the most notorious perpetrator of ribaldry when the board gets dull, I truly sympathize with AnnaStrophic for her feeling strongly that we should devote more energy to discussion of interesting words. However, it is quite easy to ignore improper posts.

Heh heh. Guilty I reckon. I confess, the distinction of when to use "farther" vs. "further" has always eluded my grasp. Can anyone come up with a pithy expression along the lines of "'I' before 'e' except after 'c'" to help me remember the proper use? And preferably, it should contain the words "Fuhrer," "farthing" and the phrase "for her." Or something to that effect...

My personal usage has always been: farther when speaking of physical distance - He walked farther down the street.
further for other (more metaphorical?) uses - We must study this further.

agreed, although etymologically farther is merely a variant of further, due probably to the analogy to far.
