I won't! Surely, you jest! *Very* few people are willing to brook a
*serious* put-down of their idiolects by people with whom they are not
personally acquainted and, quite often, not even by people who are personal
acquaintances.

"Inplausible" is the correct Spanish spelling, but the Spanish
pronunciation is "implausible," with [m] and not with [n].
