Default Three-prong to two-prong plug adapter question

It will line up correctly with ONE of the outlets in the pair. These
adapters are designed as an expedient, and not for really permanent
setups. If you are going to use 3 prong fittings, the outlets should be
replaced accordingly. The problem is that in old installations, there
might not be a ground line run, or grouding only through the conduit.
Not sure what the code issue is on this.
