Unfortunately you're both wrong.

Water is not wet. This is not up for debate or word smithing.

Edit: Apparently it is up for debate. I'll leave my comment up so there's context, but I can see some of the perspectives and points being made. I was looking at it purely from a chemistry interaction standpoint and have been corrected.

You don't get to just say that it's not up for debate lmao every definition is up for debate

Water is wet, and the only definitions that explicitly exclude the possibility that it is are based entirely on the idea that water isn't wet, rather than the actual ways people use the word "wet"
