   ac·ci·dent    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (ks-dnt, -dnt)   
   n.   
      
   An unexpected and undesirable event, especially one resulting in damage   
   or harm: car accidents on icy roads.   
   An unforeseen incident: A series of happy accidents led to his   
   promotion.   
   An instance of involuntary urination or defecation in one's clothing.   
   Lack of intention; chance: ran into an old friend by accident.   
   Logic. A circumstance or attribute that is not essential to the nature   
   of something.   
      
   Well, you're wrong.  Definition is above and says nothing about being   
   "unavoidable".   
      
      
   You're arguing pure semantics, and a poor choice of wording on my behalf.   
   Which is exactly the reason I mentioned it in the first place. "Unexpected",   
   "Undesirable" "Unforeseen" "lack of intention"  can all be substitited for   
   my poor choice of "unavoidable".   If Dodi had listened, this "accident"   
   would have been far less likely to have happened, which is my main point,   
   but you prefer to argue about the semantics, rather than actually adress the   
   point.  So, do you think Dodi's actions, in not listening to advice,   
   increased or decreased the chances of the accident occuring?
