failure to take proper care
A way of acting when you do not take enough care or pay enough attention, so that you may cause problems or accidents.
Pola penggunaan:
[someone]'s carelessness with [something]
Kesalahan umum:
Learners sometimes confuse "carelessness" (a noun) with "careless" (an adjective). For example, they may say *"His careless caused the accident"* instead of "His carelessness caused the accident." Another mistake is using "carefree" when they mean "careless" or "carelessness"; "carefree" means relaxed and not worried, not failing to take care.

sloppy or inaccurate work
Not checking details carefully in your work or writing, so there are small mistakes or it looks messy.
Pola penggunaan:
carelessness in [doing something]
Kesalahan umum:
Learners sometimes repeat the noun unnecessarily, saying *"a careless carelessness"* instead of using an adjective like "serious" or "shocking" to describe the degree, as in "serious carelessness". Another issue is overusing "mistake" instead of naming the quality, where "carelessness" is more natural: "The mistakes in your work show carelessness."
Sinonim
sloppiness (Informal; emphasizes messy, untidy, or poorly done work.)
|
inattentiveness (Stresses not paying enough attention while doing a task.)
Antonim
meticulousness (Stresses very careful attention to every small detail.)
|
