: sorry, I didn't see you already posted "irrelevant", but I disagree with "impertinent", which is NOT the same as not pertinent. Perhaps it would be worth reposting, as 'impertinent' is misleading. ///NO! Impertinent ONLY means insolent in EN!

another definition is not pertinent which means not having a clear decisive relevance to the matter in hand

In fact, Carlos already posted irrelevant as a 2nd suggestion, but this is masked by the misleading header word: "impertinent". If/when he reposts, I'll give him an Agree
