The Justice Department has filed a sweeping antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster and parent company Live Nation Entertainment, accusing them of running an illegal monopoly over live events in America and driving up prices for fans.
So the crux of it is the definition of wet. A couple definitions: “covered or soaked with a liquid such as water” or “Not yet dry or firm”. While you could maybe argue water is “not yet dry”, that also implies the expectation that it will at some point be which it won’t, because if it’s “dry” it’s not water anymore. Similarly water is not “covered or soaked in a liquid” as it is a liquid. It’s a subtle point but highlights a quirk of English. A liquid almost by definition can’t be “wet” unless it also has a dry state (E.G. paint).
While I totally agree with you, fun semantic question, is water wet, or does it only make other things wet?
idk about you but when I get in the tub, I don’t get wet. The water gets unreasonabroed.
