I was going to add a tag for issues of my GitHub repository, to describe an issue that would not be able to be reproduced.
Here are the four versions of this word I can think of:
- Irreproducible
- Unreproducible
- Non-reproducible
- Not Reproducible
What are the difference between these words? Are they all correct? And which one is better for a tag name?
Also, is there any rule to pick the prefix for these negative forms of the word?
I know you can say 'irrational' but not '*unrational', 'unlikely' not '*non-likely', and 'impossible' not '*unpossible'. But I don't know how to pick the correct one for other adjectives. Is there a rule or pattern for this?
