Nov 30, 2015 at 15:51 | comment | added | cobaltduck | That it was a "bonus question" on a "high school freshman English class" leads me to suspect that the teacher did not expect a single canonical answer, but was far more interested in the students' ability to clearly articulate their arguments. FWIW, I once had "How many snow spheres are required to make a snowman?" as an extra-credit question on a geometry test. Simply answering "three" got minimal points; answering "None. In this part of the country snowmen are made of plastic" got more points. | |

Nov 29, 2015 at 22:05 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | @LWhitson2 - A lot better, thanks! It is refreshing that you are open to the possibility that there are perfect synonyms (I'm not being sarcastic; it just is refreshing.) | |
Nov 29, 2015 at 20:20 | comment | added | Graffito | My feeling is that "damp" refers to water absorbed by some stuff and that "moist" relates more to seeping water, i.e. in-depth(damp) vs superficial(moist). | |

Nov 29, 2015 at 13:01 | comment | added | LWhitson2 | @medica, I added a little more context to the question for you. I found this very interesting that it was being asked in a high school English class yet I could not come up with a good answer to the question. That is why I thought it would be good for this site. | |

added a little more clarification to the origin of the question.

Nov 29, 2015 at 9:46 | comment | added | Færd | @GeorgePompidou 10^-23 amounts to almost zero! So your saying that moist is much wetter, aren't you?! ;) | |

separated "wet" from the two options
|
Nov 29, 2015 at 9:32 | comment | added | user85526 | I think that damp = 2(moist*pi*10^-23)/e | |

Nov 29, 2015 at 2:59 | comment | added | tchrist♦ | Why do you think one is wetter than the other? | |
Nov 29, 2015 at 2:58 | comment | added | Hot Licks | One or the other, or maybe both. | |

Nov 29, 2015 at 2:58 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | Hi and welcome. What does the dictionary say? To include the definitions (and their ambiguity) are more conducive to helpful answers (like, "Neither." than asking the question without context. (Just fyi, this question can be closed for lack of research.) | |
