It's known as gyproc up here... and since we have the gypsum mines

Mate, Gyproc is a trademark of an Australian sheetrock manufacturer.

Yes, and Sheetrock is the trademark of a US manufacturer of gypsum
board.

gyproc is also a product name of a large, french-based conglomerate that
produces gypsum board in many places around the world, including Canada.

These idiots are unbelievable.... *they think the whole world revolves
around the US... and we should all be talking 'merican!
Are they in for a rude awakening the next 10-20 years!

Okay, every piece of gypsum board is Gyproc? Like every car ever made is
a Chevy? Are you really that ****ing stupid?

In the interest of promoting peace between our two great countries, why
don't we just call it wallboard?- Hide quoted text -

Call it what you want.
I have 4 in-laws that are/were in the trade since the mid sixties and
now have a nephew that owns a major local company.
They always called themselves gyproc'rs. * Good enough for me!

It wouldn't matter what you called it...the loogy dopers would argue
with you about it. It's their reason for existing.

Half of them wouldn't know which end of the hammer to hold... let
alone use a screwgun.

For your information, I've been in the construction industry since the
late '70's. I've hung, and finished more DRYWALL than you've ever seen.
I've never, ever in my life seen anybody call themselves "gyproc'rs".
Maybe your in-laws are as stupid as you?
