To be wet is to be covered with a liquid. Water is a liquid and can't really be covered with itself. Though ice and steam also exist, they are the solid and gaseous formes of the dreaded water. Therefore, my verdict is that water is not wet. - SGuySMW (talk) 23:05, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

I used to have an opinion on the topic, but I don't anymore because I've realized this question can mean different things to different people; the extremities of a word's definition are fuzzy and not well defined by popular use. If you want an answer out of me, you'll need to ask a less ambiguous question. In summary, — 23:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
