I searched for the phrase in several dictionaries and they all gave me this,
insofar as means to the degree that
But when I replaced "insofar as" with "to the degree that" in the sample sentences given, it just doesn't work.
Sample sentence from a dictionary,
"I gave him the details insofaras I knew them."
"I gave him the details to the degree that I knew them."??? What does it mean? I don't recall seeing sentences like this.
Thank you!
