I've been waiting a long time for this album to be released.
MTV2 have been "wetting my appetite" with the two singles.
...the 2 singles really "wetted the appetite"
and the rest of the album does not dissapoint...
appetite (DESIRE)
noun [C]
a strong desire or need:
her appetite for adventure
his insatiable sexual appetite
I've read an excerpt of the book on the Web
and it's "whetted my appetite" (= increased my interest in it).

Are there the same meaning or different meanings?
Thanks a punch.

給你參考 我查到的 有錯希望各位版友指教喔^^
那篇文章標題:It's "whet my appetite" not "wet my appetite"
"whet" means "sharpen"A tool that sharpens a knife is called a "whetstone."
To "whet"one's appetite means to sharpen one's appetite.
Ex.The appitizer really whetted my appetite!
To "wet" one's appetite means to make it soggy.<<<這句我不懂@@
http://www.xeromag.com/cheat.html這個網址說的
但後來我又查了一下
wet one's appetite 應該等於whet one's appetite
In some cases this may be a simple spelling error, but as Paul Brians
notes“it is natural to think that something mouth-watering ‘wets your
appetite."
