im glad some people care. i am far from being perfect on the internet, as i dont capitalize or use apostrophes, but thats more of a style than anything else. but yes, "their, there, they're" and "your, you're" pisses me off to no end. i know it's the internet, but come on, it's hard to take someone serious when they say things like "your a freaking idiot!" i mean, come on!

anyway, if i may add:

further/farther: farther is a measure of distance whereas further is a degree of advancement. "i ran farther than you" and "he wanted to further his education."
