the.com/thoughtlessness
Not evil, just never pausing long enough to check.
means A failure to consider the effects of your words or actions before you act, usually from carelessness rather than malice.
from Straightforward English carpentry: 'thought' (Old English þoht, from þencan, to think) plus the suffix '-less' (lacking) plus the noun-forming '-ness.' No hidden plot twist here — the word simply means 'the state of lacking thought,' built the same way as countless other English abstractions like carelessness or recklessness, all of which quietly turn an absence into a noun.

- common form
- forwarding your problem without reading it first
- forgivability
- easier to forgive, harder to fix, since no one feels guilty
