the grammar witch
sends you an email telling you
that it's farther,
not further.
she strikes you with the proverbial
stick
across your knuckles.
get it right dope, she says.
farther is used for distance.
further
is used for an idea.
I want to discuss this further.
or I can run
farther than you.
okay. I write back. what about
its and it's.
you'll never get that she says,
it's beyond
you.
