Well I'm typing away and I keep wanting to use use the word therefor[e] but I can't remember how it's spelled, and both spellings look stranger the longer I look at them. So (when all else fails) I look it up -- turns out there are two words! therefor: Function: adverb : for or in return for that <ordered a change and gave his reasons therefor> therefore: Function: adverb 1 a : for that reason : CONSEQUENTLY b : because of that c : on that ground 2 : to that end

The air for the bear was unbareable air
Therefore the bear went out to sea
It was lonely out there and so the bear
Sought out a companion or three
And so the four bears went sailing out there,
Therefor to find air to breathe
After four weeks at sea they landed somwhere
And started a new family
So they were four bears who became the forebears
Of a thriving ursine colony.

Wherefore the same applies to wherefore and wherefor?

Don't be mis(s)led by them, Logos: it's "Who'd've thunk?"
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
