If you fully read the post, it doesn't matter where you are from, premoistened is premoistened, wet means wet, water means water.

But do you get why it's redundant? Moistened already means you got it wet! Hence the 'ed'. Therefor 'pre', which means 'before'... it's meaningless!

Even saying 'premoisten the soil' is redundant because...you moisten the soil!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha.
