Yup. Don't argue about defining terms, just ask the defining terms people. Merriam-Webster:
a : consisting of, containing, covered with, or soaked with liquid (such as water) American Heritage:
1. Covered or soaked with a liquid, such as water: a wet towel. OED:
1. Covered or saturated with water or another liquid. Ironically, most dictionaries have fish and submarines easily wet, but don't do a great job of handling the situation where you just get a few drops of rain on you, when you're a little bit wet. They use "covered with," which to me suggests they're only talking about when you're thoroughly wet or submerged. |
