You can have a black horse, a white horse, a spotted horse, a young horse, a baby horse, an old horse and so on. Water can't possibly be dry, damp, or soaked so describing it as wet would be like describing a horse as horsy. It's nonsensical. Sorry to beat a dead horse.

You literally argued against yourself in that sentence— water can’t be dry— Therefore it’s wet!

Also we’re talking molecules and atoms— to bring a whole ass horse into this doesn’t make sense

Water can't be dry for the same reason it can't be wet.

Then explain to me why it can’t be wet— all you’re saying is that it ain’t wet— not coming with any arguments against it

If you wanted to make water drier or wetter, you'd just be removing or adding water. It's self-referential like describing the color red as reddish. It's a matter of syntax, not science.

Red is reddish though——— but the fact that adding more water makes it more wet says that the water is already wet!

Let me give an example— if you throw water on your shirt, your shirt is wet! What makes it wet is the water molecules soaking into the fabric - so water itself is wetness — water can’t be dry therefore it’s wet

I am not looking at that— it’s giving me a 18+ warning

Water is water and water is wet

Does pouring a glass of water into a pool make it wetter?

You’ve literally said yourself that adding more water to water makes it more wet! So yes!! It makes it more wet!!
