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.

Extended Essay

A sick lengthy essay developed by someone who thought that making high school children write a 4000 word college level essay would be funny. The inventor of such an essay is compared to those such as Joseph Stalin, for the reason for creation was for the "justice and equality for all those students suffering through the International Baccalaureate".

The Extended Essay was said to have been the cause of the large drop out rate in the International Baccalaureate program, as students described the process of writing this essay on ANY TOPIC POSSIBLE as hell, death, insaity, suicidal, painful and suffering.

However, the Extended Essay is also looked upon to expand the learning of the students in seek of a challenge. The students that view the Extended Essay as a challege are a very small minority of the students enrolled in IB. To the large consensous of the IB population, the Extended Essay has no bearing on ones future, but demonstrates a large amount of stress compared to a sentencing on death row.

Patric: I know, I haven't slept in 13 days because of this assignment. The only thing keeping me going is the 5 redbulls I drnk every time I wink
Tommy: You got to do whatever you can to get into those Ivey League Schools
Patric: Hopefully the Extended Essay will allow me to achieve my three bonus points, and allowing me to score a 45 in my IB mark. That way I can go to Yale and find an interesting women, and hopefully marry rich!
Tommy: That's why we're in it brother...
