1a: an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance Their meeting was an accident.
b: lack of intention or necessity :
CHANCE They met by accident rather than by design.

2a: an unfortunate event resulting especially from carelessness or ignorance was involved in a traffic accident

etc.
You all are doing violence to the English language. You are changing the definition of a basic word to fit your prejudices. While you are entitled to your own opinion, you are not entitled to your own facts (nor, your own definitions).

If I ACCIDENTALLY knock over a glass full of water, it is my FAULT for not noticing the glass when I moved my hand. The fact that it is my FAULT does not mean it is not an ACCIDENT.

Again, read the dictionary definition. You don't get to change the definition to suit yourselves.


You keep ignoring/skipping-over this part.
