ne·glec·tion

n. not in common usage
1. The act or an instance of neglectioning something.
2. The state of being neglectioned.
3. Habitual lack of care (with your grammar in particular, it would seem).

[Latin neglegere, neglēct- : neg-, not; see 'ne' in Indo-European Roots + 'legere', to choose, pick up; see 'leg-' in Indo-European Roots.]
