Water isn't wet.
Water wets other things. But water itself isn't inherently wet.

Capsized means it is upside down. Looks the right way up to me.
So, just plain "sunk" then.

World’s turning to absolute SHITE so Imma take some time to be pedantic about shit I see written down around here.
GUTTED vs GUTTERED.

If the former, you are a bit upset.

(Once called 20 people to figure out who had dropped $50 in cash in a blank envelope at a campaign event…)

The term analogue photography just doesn't sit right with me. I know it's general use now, but mechanical photography is more accurate. Analogue belongs in the world of signals and broadcasting. #pedant

Just read the word "reify" and felt a profound sense of regret I never used it in a pub. I know EXACTLY which pub of mine and what paragraph I should have used it. #pedant

You heed "be" between "might" and "a hundred reasons".

I don't have a least favourite theme week but I do resent the cheating by blurring the lines between movie week and musicals week by allowing movie musicals in movie week. #pedant
