Hi. I believe the version used should be the most common rather than one specified as less common. In any case, that definition of the "Impassible" is not listed in the Oxford, Collins, or Cambridge English Dictionaries, and is listed as a "Misspelling of impassable" in Wiktionary.

I mean, technically this is true of the terrain too...except maybe when you drop a nuke.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/impassible
impassible (comparative more impassible, superlative most impassible)

Unable to feel emotion; impassive.
Synonyms: emotionless, unfeeling; see also Thesaurus:alexithymic
Incapable of suffering detriment or injury.
(chiefly theology) Unable to suffer, or feel pain.

If people always use the more common words then English would become a lot less interesting :)

I will call this not a bug
