Could anyone help me with this question regarding the use of "get preposition STH."? For instance, when you accidently dropped your cell phone in water, could you say "my cell phone just got in water!"? in another word, can subjects of "get + preposition" be inanimate objects? I feel that a sentence "a button got off my shirt." sounds a little bit odd. And it should be "came off." But I can't be sure about "my cell phone just got in water." Thank you so much for your help in advance.
