MOOT point.

There is no such thing as a 'mute' point, and if you say it seriously, you're publicly displaying your ignorance. A point can be made moot not mute, unless it's on TV or something and you have the remote.

This is not a tomato/tomata argument. Mute is just plain incorrect when used in this way and only displays the illiteracy of the person who used it.

Mute
Pronunciation: 'myüt
Function: adjective
Inflected Form(s): mut·er; mut·est
Etymology: Middle English muet, mut, from Anglo-French, from mu, mute, from Latin mutus, probably from mu, representation of a muttered sound
1 : unable to speak : lacking the power of speech
2 : characterized by absence of speech: as a : felt or experienced but not expressed <touched her hand in mute sympathy> b : refusing to plead directly or stand trial <the prisoner stands mute>
3 : remaining silent, undiscovered, or unrecognized
4 a : contributing nothing to the pronunciation of a word <the b in plumb is mute> b : contributing to the pronunciation of a word but not representing the nucleus of a syllable

moot
Function: adjective
1 a : open to question : DEBATABLE b : subjected to discussion : DISPUTED
2 : deprived of practical significance : made abstract or purely academic

English PWNSORZ you!!! 😛
 
My boss used to say "Mute point" all the time in meetings. I pulled him aside one day, told him how it was.....and he didn't believe me. I had to google the phrase to show him what was up.
 
Yes, 'mute point' is a valid expression, a play on words. A moot point is one that has valid potential for discussion or debate. The play on words is mute point sounds much the same but is supposed to be just the opposite.
