Claim: Water is not wet

Question

The MHIS Islander website claims that the liquid (water) itself is not wet. Water makes other things wet when it comes into contact with them, but it is not wet when it is by itself.

Answer 1

Water can be wet depending on the definition of 'wet' that is used. In one scenario 'wet' can be a feeling when water touches skin and feels 'wet'. Another instance where water is wet is when it is defined as something made out of moisture. In both these 2 cases water is considered wet. According to this article I found, UCSB Scienceline, 'wet' can have multiple meanings meaning water can be wet.

I like that you explained your stance in detail and provided a strong source. Don't forget to add a rating to your fact-check, which might be "false, misinformation," in this case. The rating could also be "opinion" if you feel that "wet" has too many meanings and it's not very objective.
