Something can either be wet or dry. Is water dry? When you touch something wet you get a little wet too. Something is wet when it is surrounded by water. Water can be surrounded by water, even if it sometimes isn't. Therefore, water CAN be wet and usually is. It takes a lot of work to isolate a single hydrogen molecule, and even if you do so, water can still be wet. Wetness is not a permanent state, even within solids. If there’s a wet log and you isolate the log, it’s not wet anymore, and that’s fine. It doesn’t matter. If water could be wet, then water is wet.
Next, we take down some arguments from the other side. The people saying that water is not wet compare it to how fire can’t be on fire and how hair can’t be hairy. Well, fire is like an inert gas- it cannot be on fire. For example, air cannot be on fire. I know that fire cannot be on fire, but it isn’t related to this. Hair being hairy and doesn’t have anything to do with wet water either because hair doesn’t grow on hair so there is little to no reference about this type of thing. Even if it is relevant to the water issue, I’m pretty sure that hair with hair on it is considered hairy.
Now we look at the definition of “wet”. According to Oxford Languages, the word wet is identified as “covered or saturated with water or another liquid”. Water is covered by water. If you don’t believe me here, “saturated” means to be “holding as much water or moisture as can be absorbed; thoroughly soaked”. Water is thoroughly soaked with water! Obviously, water is full of water and holds water. If my previous two points have not convinced you that water is wet, this is proof that water abides by the very definition of “wet”.
Even if you still don’t believe me, let’s try to look at the wording of the statement, “water is wet”. If an object is covered by water, it is also “wet”. The phrase “covered by water” is therefore equal to the phrase “wet”. If water is not a wet object, water is wetness itself, which means water = wet, and the word “is” can be used to symbolize the word “equals”, so water “is” wet because water is wetness itself.
It is because of the reasons that water is not dry, that water can be wet and therefore is wet, that the examples about fire and hair have nothing to do with this argument, and that water is exactly perfect for the definition of “wet” that today you agree with me in saying that water is wet.
