The axe thing could legit be cool, if the logo didn’t look like dog shit to accommodate it

Just take the original logo and add some edges to the wings. Am I dumb, or does this look infinitely better than that stupid spiky rectangle? I’m sure someone else can do it better job, I did the best I could on my phone

More reasonably, “wet” is often used as an adjective describing something that is liquid. Wet paint is, of course, wet.

How is that a counter source? It’s just another definition of the word. Words can mean multiple things.

No, and it takes a profound level of disingenuousness to bring the argument to this point. You must understand that the meanings of words are socially constructed, not aspects of physical reality. Usage is literally what determines the definitions of words.

I used a dictionary to demonstrate that that is a way that people use the word. I never said they don’t matter, I said it’s irrelevant that some dictionaries don’t include my definition.

Sure. I wouldn’t usually refer to lava as wet, but I also don’t interact with it very often. Glass is an amorphous solid, so not liquid and so not wet unless it’s touching something liquid or is liquid itself. Liquid mercury exists outside of thermometers as well, and it’s wet both in one and out of one. Space isn’t a thing, and so it you can’t be in contact with anything, and so concepts like wetness and dryness don’t really apply.

I also wouldn’t call any of those wet in my daily life, largely because I don’t interact with them very often. I don’t get into hyper pedantic arguments about the ways we define words very often in real life either. Most people simply agree that water is wet

Irrelevant. No word has one single universally accepted definition, no one dictionary can lay claim over the English language, and the way that most people actually use the word includes things that consist of liquids. There’s a reason that the phrase “water is wet” is ubiquitous.

Maybe by your definition, but have you considered that the definitions that I like are the objectively correct ones?

/s shouldn’t be necessary but this is the internet

“Wet” Is used as an adjective describing something that consists of or is touching some liquid. Nobody seems to have a problem with the concept of wet paint. I can’t imagine anyone other than Sheldon Cooper saying “technically the wall is wet, the paint is liquid!” If you would say that, I have a locker to shove you in

I don’t know, getting into arguments with sentient geo/hydrological features seems like the kind of thing our ancestors would have done

That’s true. I shouldn’t have included that detail in my already 100% correct comment. Redacting it, but pasting it here for posterity:

The word “wet” comes from a PIE word meaning water

A water molecule (singular) can’t be in a liquid state. Water molecules (plural) can be in a liquid state. It’s important to be precise with our language here

An individual water molecule is not liquid, but if it’s touching other water molecules that are in a liquid state, then it is wet.

But if you define wet as ‘made of liquid or moisture’, as some do, then water and all other liquids can be considered wet.

Thank you for providing another source in my favor. In a scientific context, wet might have a very particular meaning. But we’re not in a damn lab right now, we’re talking. Go ask a linguist instead of a scientist.

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”

The water in the air is not liquid water. Unless it’s raining, in which case it’s very much liquid water, and you’re very wet if you’re standing in it

Except for the fact that water by definition is wet

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/wet

Fun fact: there is no such thing as a universally accepted definition. Words mean what we mean when we say them. And the vast majority of people use “wet” to describe something that is made up of, touching, or covered in a liquid, especially water. The arbitrary assertion that the definition somehow only applies to solids is just facile contrarianism with no actual basis in linguistics.
