Insane or insane means mentally ill or crazy--
We didn't think he was insane, but the court declared him mentally incompetent.
He rants when he gets angry; he made some insane comments to his boss and lost his job.
Inane or inane means nonsensical or silly; as an empty space or void--
If she makes one more inane comment I'm going to leave.
That's beyond stupid; it's inane.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"His inane and repetitious remarks are driving us all insane."
