I would guess that you don't care right now, or perhaps ever and . . .
I am quite sure the overwhelming majority of ATOT will think this nitpicky and terribly uncool because . . .
After all, everyone knows it's the lowest sort of flame to correct another's grammar on the intarweb, but . . .
I am not attempting to flame you.
It's just that "farthest" refers to actual physical distance while furthest is the word you want for the symbolic distance -- not measured in inches, feet, or furlongs -- "from your mind".
For your job, you are careful, nay, meticulous about how you dress, no?
Why not apply the same intense dedication to succeed by exceling to your written and spoken skills?
Someone, somewhere (usually senior to you in the hierarchy) may notice, and approve.
English! As an American, if you learn only one language in your life, learn English.
Hey....so, you live in Michigan?

looks like the problem might solve itself. The bad thing is my other salesman is this guy's best friend. If I lose one, I might lose both. That would mean working all by myself from open to close 7 days a week. I did that before for 3 months and it sucked....

For the record I do know the difference. I am just to lazy to correct my typos on here. If you ever heard the guys I work for give meetings you would go crazy. Proper english is a second language in our country, anything above grunting and pointing is first.
