So does that mean water is indeed wet

Any liquid is wet. Doesn't necessarily need to be water.

Wetness is the retention of water on or under the surface. Water cannot be wet because it cannot be on it's self. If you add water to existing water you increase the orginal body of water.

Is he a dot, or is he a speck?

When he's underwater does he get wet?

Or does the water get him instead?

Nobody knows, Particle man

Why cannot it be on it's self? One molecule of water is atop a second molecule of water. Both are now on eachother, both are wet.

It’s just semantics, really. If we want water to be wet, it can be. And there’s really no reason for it to not.

Wet water is water that has a small amount of surfacant (detergent) added to break down surface tension. It's used in modeling to keep sprayed, water based glue from beading up, so it soaks into whatever it's supposed to be gluing together.
