    Water isn't wet. Wetness is a description of our experience of water; what happens to us when we come into contact with water in such a way that it impinges on our state of being. We, or our possessions, 'get wet'.

    Here's the answer
    Incorrect. I will say here the same thing I said on the discord server.
    "Water molecules are in contact with other water molecules making them saturated or covered in a liquid. By arguing that water is not wet, one would assert that the ocean is the driest place on earth.
    Like.... Is fire hot? Is ice cold? The answer to these questions is yes, the properties of these matters would also exert their properties to themselves, giving their respective compound true meaning. "
    I think the problem here is that everyone bounds the definition of wetness to being human, anything can be wet. There is no such thing as an inbetween of being either wet or dry (although you can be partially wet or partially dry, this can be discarted by specifying which part is wet and which one isnt). Matter ceases being dry when any part of said matter comes into contact with a liquid, and matter ceases to be wet when the majority of it's surface has ceased to be saturated with a liquid.

    The 2 best arguments currently.
    Water isn't wet in my opinion, it all comes down to the substance/object/person that is interacting with it.
