That's not the conventional use of the word extract. Do you also have a preferred pronoun you would like me to use since we're defiling the conventional use of words in the English language?

I'm unsure what you mean by conventional unless that you mean extract has a wider meaning for usage. The point is that the two words extract and excerpt are synonyms and either would be sufficient. Though if anything I think excerpt would be better suited for a longer passage than the extract I posted.

The conventional use of extract typically refers to a substance. Where as the only use for excerpt is a passage from a longer work.
