Default sheetrock/Drywall
spake thus:

Is sheetrock and drywall the same product? Has there ever been a
difference?

I believe "Sheetrock" used to be a trade name for drywall (the generic
term for what's more properly called "gypsum wallboard"). "Sheetrock"
has now entered the language much like terms like "kleenex", "xerox",
"dumpster", etc.
