Question about English (US)
Why do you say "underwater" not "inwater"?
Do you feel strange if I use "inwater"?
I found the word "inwater technologies" used in an article. Is this a made-up word?

@Makinohara you’re right, the correct word would be “underwater.” i’m not sure what article this is but i believe the phrase “inwater technologies” is the name of a company - and “inwater” is just a made-up word that causes the company name to have a ring to it and sound appealing to potential customers.
i hope this helps!!
