further stops

Just noticed this the other day. Why do you think they chose further and not farther? It certainly can make sense: I always read it as meaning, you know, more stops. But then it occurred to me to wonder whether I really believed that was what they meant. I'd guess that whoever wrote and approved "Further Stops" doesn't know the difference between further and farther and understands them as being entirely synonymous; it would be cool if they really did mean further.* Yeah, I'm going to stand by that claim: it would be cool.

* What do we think? Whoever wrote and approved: plural? [Well, I wrote "doesn't" and "understands" above, so I guess I'm wrong one way or the other...but the idea that it would be singular is problematic since it's got to be more than one person: I'm certainly not assuming that the copyslave who wrote it also got to greenlight it. The best thing to do would probably be to take out the "and approved" and go singular all the way, but at this point I think I'll leave it because the question is an interesting one. Yeah, I'm going to stand by that claim, too: interesting.]
