wet

–adjective

1. moistened, covered, or soaked with water or some other liquid: wet hands.

2. in a liquid form or state: wet paint.

Water is a liquid, therefore water is wet.

Both the old water and the new water would be wet, as they are both liquids, which are inherently wet.

I'm absolutely stunned that you are trying to argue that water is not a liquid. At standard temperature and pressure, water is a liquid; that is a fact! Arguing this will only make you look very very silly.

It doesn't matter whether hydrogen and oxygen are in gas form at standard temperature and pressure. When they form to make water (firstly becoming H2O molecules, then combining to form water), they become a liquid.

Here is the standard definition of wet:

Look closely at number 2. ...in a liquid form or state: wet paint. Last time I checked (although, you might beg to differ with every person in the world who has half a brain), water is a liquid.

Of course it is. you get soaked in it every time you tkae a shower.

By the look of things, some dictionaries define liquids as being wet, whilst some others do not. But yes, to me (and the definition I found for the word 'wet'), liquids are wet; thus water is wet.

"wet is a result of being covered in water"

That's one definition. There are others.

See xaeon's argument over there. ⤣

Ice is not wet. Ice is a solid, not liquid. Presumably, the 'wetness' you're referencing is the H2O that has warmed up to its liquid state.

This is similar to how steam is not wet. You will get condensation once the steam moves from a gas to a liquid state, but the gaseous state of H2O is not 'wet'.
