Therefore or therefor?

[Philin]

Hi,

Is "therefore" correct in the following context?

[Mister Micawber]

I agree.

I agree too.

[Lillo]

Dear Teachers, I would like to agree too but I don't know the difference between "therefore" and "therefor"; so would you kandly explain to me such a difference ?
Thank in advance, Lillo.

[Mister Micawber]

The difference is clear enough in a DICTIONARY, Lillo. Have you tried that?

Dear Mister Micawber, In effect I'm feeling a bit foolish indeed. As a matter of fact I've just looked up in a dictionary and now the difference is clearly noticed.
Let me apologize for the useless question made.
Best regards, Lillo.

[Mister Micawber]

Don't feel bad, Lillo. I had to look them up, too, before I answered the question. Since joining this forum, I have used my dictionary far more than I ever used to do.

Mister Micawber, I need and love dictionaries, too, but I still wonder if there is a good one for me, maybe a little "bigger" one, I suppose. Would you mind recommending a few for me? Thank you.

Hi Philin,

I could recommend one in particular:

The Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English published by Oxford University Press. One of its good features is that it not only explains a word but also shows how it is used in a sentence.

That would be great! Thank you, Mr. Alan.
