Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material. Water is 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. Every molecule is fully oxidized. It's also a common byproduct of fire. Therefore, you can't burn it, because it's already burnt

I've seen a few great ones lately, but I've also been seeing a ton from people who don't understand the concept very well. Things like "it's not nice to be mean to people" or "there are more countries in Asia than China, Japan, and South Korea." I can't really say much as I haven't posted anything myself, but c'mon people!
