     @tim ground side up should be default, it's even safer for falling objects that could contact exposed pins(?) from it not being plugged in all the way
     
     
     (Are they called pins? Prongs? Hmm)

     Does anyone actually want outlets on switches anymore? Like maybe if you have a bunch of front window outlets on a coordinated holiday circuit but just... One per room semi at random?
