Before you think “Fucking duh, water is wet.” Think about the definition of the word “wet“.
Wet, when used as an adjective is defined as “covered or saturated with water or another liquid.” How you interpret this WILL change the answer to this question.
Argument for water being not wet : The definition implies that when an object is wet, we can remove the water and therefore remove that status of wet, we cannot remove water from water and have it change states from wet to dry. Thus, water is NOT wet.
Argument for water is wet : Technically speaking, water molecules are surrounded by other water molecules in say, any sample of water. Therefore, it is saturated with water, and water IS wet.
Thoughts?
