“I realized that when I compared myself to others I lost who I was. It seemed my vitality faded the more I focused on how others were…what they did and thought. I began tempering my uniqueness and homogenizing my sparks.” -Jewel

Rules Of Grammar: Therefore vs. Therefor

Therefore is defined as, “For that reason; consequently.”

Therefor is defined as, “For or in exchange for that or this.”

Here are a few examples of usage:

“He was injured and therefore unable to play.
I think; therefore I am.
Payment was received two weeks after it was due; therefore, he was charged a late fee.
Therefore the Court found the evidence unconvincing.”

“Ordering goods and enclosing payment therefor.
The applicant must submit the application form and any supporting documentation therefor in two weeks’ time.
I’ll explain what we must do and the causes therefor.”

Machine Briefs:
therefore= THRFR
therefor= THR*FR

“We all so often need permission to get on with what’s important in our lives. But I do believe that if we take the time to look, deep down inside ourselves, we already know what we can do and what we do well. The key may be in recognizing those abilities because they may not look spectacular at first glance.” -Jane Seymour
