If /usr/share/dict/words could talk, it might tell you that accidently is listed as obsolete by the OED, that it is used approximately 1:15 vis-a-vis accidentally in US English and 1:28 in UK (and it might suggest that a lot of those usages may well have been in error). If accidently had a man page it would state that accidently has been obsoleted by accidentally, which is suggested for normal use.
