irrevelant/irrelevant

Tilly and I never use further/farther that we don't stop and think about
it. Although the dictionary makes them almost synonymous, I was taught
that farther always meant physical distance; further was intangible
(like furthermore).

My early teachers told me that *shall* was only to be used in the first
person. No more!
