I recently purchased some more three-prong to two-prong AC adapters. I
know you are supposed remove the screw that holds the face plate on,
plug the adapter in, and replace the screw through the "grounding"
strap on the adapter.
These adapters are also polarized, you can only plug them into the
receptacle one way. And when they are plugged in the only way they can
be, the "grounding" strap does not line up with the screw. It faces 180
degrees from it.
What is the reason for these adapters seemingly not being manufactured
correctly?

Are you for real?

I think he's standing on his head.

I bought some of those adapters, and they all had the holes and prongs
on the wrong ends. (joke).
