While it's one of my favorite words, "inexorably" does not fit here.

    When I was young I heard the phrase "time marches inexorably forward" and I always thought it was one of those really cool phrases everyone knew from some philosopher or like from Shakespeare or some highbrow source of wisdom or wit.
