Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: It was an unthinking comment, really — he didn't mean to upset anyone.
Speaker B: Ah — unthinking, that word for acting or speaking without any thought.
Speaker A: Exactly. I left the tap running out of pure unthinking habit.
Speaker B: Ha, we all do that. There it means automatic, done on autopilot.
Speaker A: Right. Unthinking loyalty can be dangerous, though — following without question.
Speaker B: Quite. The word carries a gentle criticism, doesn't it?
Speaker A: Very. What's the difference between unthinking and thoughtless?
Speaker B: They're close. Thoughtless often means unkind. Unthinking leans more towards automatic, mindless.
Speaker A: So unthinking can be innocent, while thoughtless sounds a bit selfish.
Speaker B: Precisely. And it's near careless too, though careless is broader.
Speaker A: Any common mistake?
Speaker B: Don't confuse it with unthinkable — that means too shocking to imagine, quite different.
