Inapplicable
Context Matters
Use 'inapplicable' when certain ideas or rules don't apply in a specific scenario.
In space, Earth's gravity laws are inapplicable.
Irrelevance Emphasis
'Inapplicable' often carries a stronger tone of irrelevance than just saying something is 'not relevant'.

Avoid Overuse
Using 'inapplicable' too often can make statements seem dismissive; use it judiciously.
