Insofar... |
....is a sadly underused word. Pity it isn't insofaras, instead of always
being insofar as. I can't think of another word to follow it. Insofar
from?

the only time i see that word (insofar), it's the first word of
a form letter i wish i hadn't seen. i've seen it followed by
'that', but it sounds terrible.

It isn't in my dictionary at all, in so far as 'in...' and 'far' are
defined. Notwithstanding which I concur that innovative coinage has
heretofore not been precluded.
