H2O is not Water?

What do you think about one of our most essential component of life, Water? Is water really a H2O? Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world's streams, lakes, oceans and rain, and is the major constituent of the fluids of living things. As a chemical compound, a water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure, but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state, ice; and gaseous state, steam (water vapor). It also exists as snow, fog, dew and cloud.

This does not implies that water is H2O. H2O just a covalent bonded 3 atoms with a Oxygen and 2 Hydrogen and it is said a molecule but Water is a liquid whish is one of the four fundamental states of matter. Thus,as the result Water is define as a set of H2O molecules.
