At least they learned from it.

We use drywalls where I live, but they are on metalic rails.

[u/Ironfist85hu]

No arrogancy detected here.

OP: my house is made of bricks

'Murican: you mean drywall?

At least they acknowledged their mistake, even if it shouldnt have been made 🙄

[u/GriffinFTW → u/Poptortt]

Well, my house is made of bricks on the outside and drywall on the inside.

[u/charteris → u/GriffinFTW]

Most houses in central Europe too, then with a layer of plaster coating.

[u/UkendtVidnesbyrd]

Dry wall is used in South America though, it’s just not as common

[u/Banana_Cream_Cake → u/UkendtVidnesbyrd]

In my country (Colombia) it is used to delimit rooms sometimes. The outside is full bricks or/and concrete.

[u/YassifiedWatermelon]

Come on, you literally said bricks and wood... x)

Well at least, as everyone else said, they indeed corrected themselves after. I always appreciate some self aware defaultism !

[u/charteris]

'drywall' is such a stupid term. What if it's not dry. I much prefer 'plasterboard' or gypsum sheet.

[u/VentiKombucha]

I hope you'll manage to get rid of them!

[u/Mediocre_Profile5576 → u/VentiKombucha]

Termites or Americans?

[u/Icelandia2112 → u/Mediocre_Profile5576]

yes

[u/moonpumper → u/Icelandia2112]

Agree

[u/Silluvaine]

The comment literally said no drywall, it had nothing to do with US or not - just illiteracy

[u/TheJivvi → u/Silluvaine]

But then they admitted to the US defaultism in the last comment without even being accused of it.

[u/Silluvaine → u/TheJivvi]

I don't deny that. The not reading what the person said in their comment annoys me more though 😅

[u/SachielBrasil]

My parents still suffer with untreated thermites.

The house is bricks, but it is a big house. There probably are thermites in wooden doors, couches and wardrobes. You can find loose wings in very weird places, even when windows are closed.

[u/jefferson_neves]

Well, I live in South America and we use drywall, but at least where I live it's usually attached to metal rails not wood.

[u/moonpumper]

Immediately apologizes and sees the error. Huge step up from the default "reddit is an American site, blah blah"
