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.

Lath and plaster with horse hair is a wet wall....


They say two by four as well ....

I always thought they called it SheetRock ?.

SheetRock is a brand name.

It's known regionally by different names, gypboard, drywall, sheetrock,
blueboard/greenboard (mold resistant), etc.

Whatever it's called, it's ****.* It's powder held together with
paper. Use wood for crying out loud.* No crumbling, easier to remove,
easier to screw things into like a picture frame etc.

Easier to screw things into plasterboard, you just need the right
attachments or, alternatively, ensure you're screwing into a wall stud.

Plenty of drywall screw attachments to choose from as well as drywall
toggle cavity fasteners.

Your problem is a lack of real world experience. Only you can fix that!

I like people like you who know what they are talking about......
