I was astonished to find Americans actually call plasterboard "drywall"
even if it's on a ceiling! So not a wall!

Daft in the first place to say "drywall", as all walls are dry, unless
made of mud, which is still dry once it's set.

We do many things backwards. We park our cars in the driveway and drive
on the parkways.


And we send shipments by car and cargo by ships.
