It's possible to breathe water, which is indeed incompressible for all
practical purposes.

And yet another factoid that is only applicable under a very
contrained set of circumstances you are trying to arm wave into
a generallity to prove yourself correct.

And no, it is not possible to breathe water, you can only breathe
gases, if you want to be pendantically, semantically correct.

Water is breathable if there is enough oxygen in it, although the effect on
lung tissue over long periods of breathing a liquid has not been determined.
There are some therapeutic uses for techniques similar to this.

Water is not breathable; only the oxygen (or other gases) contained in
it is.

You want to play semantic games?

The same can be said of air. And you may have forgotten water vapor.

Nonono. He was right the first time.

Wrong again! Water is respirable at ambient pressures sufficiently high
to provide sufficient PO2 (that's partial pressure of oxygen, my boy).
Unfortunately, the problem is carbon dioxide solubility, which makes
water unusable. However, liquid respiration IS successfully done with
various fluorocarbon compounds.

Come now, Anthony. Try to get at least one fact straight.

Actually, there is a liquid formula that deep sea divers can breathe.
Flourine something or other.

But you can breathe water, too. You only get to inhale once, though.
