WATER ISN'T WET. WETNESS IS A DESCRIPTION OF OUR EXPERIENCE OF WATER; WHAT HAPPENS TO US WHEN WE COME INTO CONTACT WITH WATER IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT IMPINGES ON OUR STATE OF BEING. WE, OR OUR POSSESSIONS, 'GET WET'. A LESS IMPINGING SENSE; EXPERIENCE OF WATER IS THAT IT IS COLD OR WARM, WHILE VISUAL EXPERIENCE TELLS US THAT IT IS GREEN OR BLUE OR MUDDY OR FAST-FLOWING. WE LEARN BY EXPERIENCE THAT A SENSATION OF WETNESS IS ASSOCIATED WITH WATER: 'THERE MUST BE A LEAK/I MUST HAVE SAT IN SOMETHING.' JACQUELINE CASTLES, LONDON W2
