to the extent

A phrase increasingly used on cable news when the words "if" and "when" would be more concise without sacrificing accuracy. The reason why it's used this way is because it sounds less abrasive. A less abrasive-sounding phrase is helpful for manipulating you. Most of the time, in ordinary conversation, you never have to use "to the extent" unless you are trying to soften the impact of what you are about to say. If you hear the phrase "to the extent" in ordinary conversation, pay attention because someone may be manipulating you (or, alternatively, trying not to hurt your feelings too much).

Used correctly, it provides implied information regard the limit or scope of something.

You may not have paid the right amount to the extent your payment exceeded $10.

-->If you paid more than $10, you paid too much.

To the extent lawmakers pass bills to make corruption easier, voters should be concerned.
-->When lawmakers pass bills to make corruption easier, voters should be concerned.

Correct usage:
You may be required to pay taxes to the extent of your debt forgiveness.
This sentence could be reconstructed as: If you had your debt forgiven, you may be required to pay taxes. But using "to the extent" tells us the scope and limit: the more debt forgiven, the more taxes you will pay (but only up to a certain point). So by using "if" in this context, you miss out on some but not all of the meaning.

Eccentric Generation

A generation of people who welcome the weird. They are a mix of free thinkers and doers. Not afraid to show who they are. Not afraid to say what they think. They want to experience all the eccentricities of the world.

Welcome to the Eccentric Generation. We bathe in the abandon, we indulge ourselves in the whimsical and we celebrate our uniqueness. We do not conform. We allow the liberty, the remarkable, and the fantastic within us be our voice. We understand the strange, the peculiar and the quirky because it is all magnificent.
