- Lichtso 3y agoSeriously? Is that just language semantics or does it actually make sense to apply this definition of (fluid) water being dry? Also, doesn't water touch itself and is thus wet too?
- meepmorp 3y agoWetting is an interaction between liquids and solid surfaces. If water can't wet a given surface/wet it effectively, it's what you'd call water repellent. Like rain gear, flys on tents, etc.
- qup 3y agoWhere does one water begin and another end? Seems to me any appreciable amount of water is touching other water. I'm not sure you've thought this through.
