Apparently water isnt wet. It took me awhile to get over the wtf reaction. Basically because wetness is the ability of a liquid to coat, or soak into, a solid. and being wet is the state of being covered in a liquid. We're left with the surprising conclusion that unless we think of water as being water coated, or soaked in, more water its not wet.
I'm open to having my mind changed on this as I find it a bit ridiculous and will continue to think of liquids as being wet
Wetness is a property of the liquid, not of the solid. So, a surface is wet because it has a liquid on it, but the liquid is always wet.
It's like saying "blue things are things that are painted blue, but blue paint isn't painted blue, so it's not blue." Paint is the thing that makes the things blue, and is blue itself.
Twisting of words there. Because it appears blue, conventionally we call it blue, even though the thing itself is anything but blue. That it appears blue ironically means it is not blue.
