The misspelling generator found no plausible variants for im, suggesting the orthography follows predictable Spanish patterns. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "ir", "is", "it", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct Spanish form is im, spelled I-M.
