inadvertently
含义: Without intention or by accident; as a result of inattention rather than deliberate action.
Inadvertently is the polite, formal way to say 'by mistake.' It carries less blame than 'negligently' because it focuses on the absence of intention rather than the failure of duty. Politicians who inadvertently mislead Parliament are forgiven more readily than those who deliberately deceive. It collocates with 'reveal,' 'disclose,' 'cause,' 'omit,' and 'delete.' It is ubiquitous in official statements, corporate communications, and news reporting.
