Learn English – Another way to say “Does not matter” in formal reports

synonymswriting

The phrase "does not matter" sounds rather informal to me. I'm writing a formal report and would appreciate alternative suggestions.

For example:

"The residents of City X enjoy favorable living conditions. There is heavy precipitation from time to time. However, this does not matter because most residents have a habit of working from home."

Best Answer

I would recommend using "this is irrelevant".

The residents of City X enjoy favorable living conditions. There is heavy precipitation from time to time. However, this is irrelevant because most residents have a habit of working from home.

The definition of "irrelevant":

not useful or not relating to a particular situation, and therefore not important
The defendant's lawyer argued that his past offenses were irrelevant to this case.
