unrealisitic

Unrealisitic is generally regarded as a misspelling of the standard English adjective unrealistic, which means not realistic or lacking plausibility. It is not listed as a separate word in major dictionaries and is usually encountered as a typographical error or autocorrect mistake.

In ordinary usage, the intended meaning is the same as realistic’s opposite: something that is not believable, feasible, or consistent with known facts or physical constraints. The term is commonly used in discussions of fiction, film, media criticism, or planning to signal that depictions or expectations exceed what is plausible.

Orthography and usage notes:

When writing formally or in neutral tone, the correct spelling is unrealistic. If you see unrealisitic, it is typically prudent to correct it to unrealistic. Some writers in informal or experimental contexts may employ nonstandard spellings for stylistic reasons, but such usage is uncommon and can hinder clarity. In most contexts, readers will understand it as a misspelling rather than a distinct concept.

See also: realistic, unrealism, plausibility. While unrealisitic does not constitute a separate concept, understanding the distinction between realistic and unrealistic remains central to evaluating statements, designs, and narratives for plausibility and feasibility.
