Hello people of UsingEnglish.com, I joined this website so I can better my knowledge of the English language. I've always had a fascination with learning as much about my own native language for a long time but I've never had the time to do so, with me being busy with school.
Anyways, I've looked through different dictionary websites to make sense of the two words listed in the question. But all of them provide a vague explanation.
Take Lexico Dictionary, for example:
"1) INASMUCH AS:
inasmuch as
[inasmuch as]
DEFINITION
1) to the extent that; insofar as:
"these provisions apply only inasmuch as trade between Member States is affected"
2) considering that; since (used to specify the respect in which a statement is true):
"it was not really a still life inasmuch as all the objects were in motion
2) INSOFAR AS:
insofar as
[insofar as]
DEFINITION
1) to the extent that:
"the tool is able to cater to almost any need insofar as graphs are concerned""
I'm still confused regarding the differences between these two words. Would someone be so kind as to describe the distinction between these two terms?
