Did you see my link? It absolutely was not primarily an American thing. It just wasn’t a European thing. So it does, in fact, sound like you think only what is in Europe matters.
I’ll repeat to you once again that this isn’t an argument and especially not about what matters or not, as I’ve never stated no other country matters. I’ve even lived in a country where “RadioShack” operated, but once again RadioShack as a name is American which is shown in your own link.
I haven’t called you wrong or have said that one country matters more than the other, all I’ve said is that drywall is a silly argument in a case like this especially since it didn’t have anything to do with the wall in the first place.
I do agree my first reply is a bit foul, but I’ve just been kind of sad about comments and posts that don’t specify country.
I’ve never said it wasn’t used in Europe, just that I haven’t seen it. Where I’m from we quite literally just call it Gypsum, you need to read what I’m literally saying and not derive off of it.
Copper wire can be found in excess in a lot of access panels and such, like the other commenter said.
I see… so drywall is an American thing because they call it gypsum where you live and Radio Shack is an American thing because it wasn’t in Europe. You’re right, I was only talking about American things.
Drywall is an American thing because it is only popular there, in other countries it is reserved for certain cheaper constructions and quite rare.
Is this based on “what you have seen?”
Radio Shack as the name wasn’t a thing in Europe, Tandy and others were.
Yes, we’ve already established that, according to you, “not a thing in Europe but a thing in other countries including America” makes something an “American thing.”

It’s a silly argument… Unless copper wire is behind drywall.
By the way, drywall is used in Europe, it’s just called plasterboard.

You’re missing a few keywords I used, like “primarily”.
And no, it’s not based on what I’ve seen.
