But that's not the definition of wet. Wet is something having liquid adhere to it, usually water. It's a gained quality. Water doesn't adhere to itself, it can't gain the quality of being wet because it is the thing that gives that quality. It's like saying that fire is burnt. It does the burning.

Honestly, without the /s I would have assumed idiocy over sarcasm. I hate that I would usually be right in doing so.
