The rest of the quote is: However further is a much commoner word, and in addition it is used in certain abstract contexts, for example in references to time, in which it would be unusual to substitute farther, e.g. have you anything further to say?; without further delay.
It doesn't change the fact that I was right in that farther and further could be used interchangeably according to the
Oxford English Dictionary. Which happened to be the only source that was legitimate to him. LoL, Norwegians arguing with me about English. He did have a point about most Americans being TRBL with grammar though.
