I learned to check the dictionary for any word whose spelling was unfamiliar to me--and the bonus was that I would discover its other meanings and learn not to use those meanings unintendedly!
Joe, in all my years, I have never heard anyone use "unintendedly"in this context - or in any other, for that matter. I am not saying you are wrong, but I'd be interested in how you differentiate "unintendedly" from "unintentionally".
Yes, few people choose “unintendedly,” but I have always used it for situations that I felt didn’t really warrant the use of “unintentionally” and “accidentally,” which are its close synonyms. These three synonymous words each has a shade of meaning not common to all. “Unintentionally” means a manner done by intention or design, as in “the damage was done
unintentionally”; on the other hand, “unintendedly” means a manner not expected to be such in the future, as in “a career he pursued
unintendedly.” Of course, “accidentally” is inappropriate in both contexts so we can rule it out altogether from this usage.
Just to increase your level of comfort with “unintendedly,” here are some contemporary usages of the word in various contexts:

“Ash and Lake present their amazing collection of odd (and often
unintendedly perverse) book titles like ‘Suggestive Thoughts for Busy Workers’, ‘The Potatoes of Bolivia’, ‘Who’s Who in Barbed Wire’, ‘Play with your own marbles’, ‘Making it in leather’, and ‘Scouts in Bondage’.—A

unintendedly, you probably need to grip tighter as you swing.”

unintendedly comic, showing as they do hundreds of people moving around aimlessly waving their arms or palm fronds. Remarkable are Lucy Doraine's extravagant contemporary gowns, sexy historical skimpy dresses, and bizarre head wear in the biblical flashback, all created by Remigius Geyling, head set designer at the Vienna.”—
