Difference between inadvertently and accidently? Also should it be accidently or accidentally?

"I accidentally dropped the cup of water on the floor and it spilt everywhere." "I inadvertently told the postman that I was going on holiday next week. I hope he doesn't tell all my neighbours." The meanings are similar. I don't know if there is a genuine difference which you can define. In the Collins dictionary, they are listed as synonyms of each other. "Accidentally" is more common and perhaps suggests a more obvious mistake such as the water spillage I mentioned, and which you realise quickly. I use "inadvertently" when the mistake is less obvious or more subtle. I use it more often for things I have said rather than things I have done.
