I'm focussing mostly on the things I notice in the forum and things that are definitely wrong.

It's only that it's not the focus of this particular thread. |
yes, yes. i just liked it as a general rule because many people use "further" when farther will do. and quite often people say "farther" when only further will do. i get it. i was just trying to help you compile a nice list of things, and i can see how this would be omitted as it isn't seen too often on H3F.
which reminds me: "too, two, and to". i am shocked that people still get that one wrong.
