taco season posted:Today I learned that "farther" is a real word. wtf Farther is usually used for literal distances, "2 miles farther down the road"; where-as further is usually used more figuratively, like "I can't take this any further". However the Oxford English Dictionary, Fowler's Modern English Usage, and a number of other sources posted:in most cases, it's fine to use “further” and “farther” interchangeably, especially when the distinction isn't clear.

Hopefully, we'll soon accept that "metaphor" and "similie" are the same loving thing as well.

National Geographic just installed a weather station at South Col and one at the Balcony, about 1000 feet below the summit. You can view weather data here: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/life-at-the-extremes/ Air temp and wind look downright balmy right now, the air pressure is hilariously low though. Will be interesting to check this in winter.

Rad-daddio posted:I think similes specifically use "like" or "as" to draw comparison. Simile is a subgroup of metaphor. A metaphor says thing A is thing B. Simile is just a more clarified or weaker form which uses linking words to stress that thing A is not thing B in a literal sense, but that they are just being compared.

Looking forward to the devolution of language to the point of literally meaning figuratively.

And it's a valuable distinction because the simile is a trash expression for garbage people.

This has been known to happen in Internet Cafes but I dont know if it ever happened with EQ since I'm not sure Internet Cafes were around back when EQ was popular. Maybe Wow though.
