When wiring up normal 3-prong outlets, does it matter if I switch
the black and white wires on a single outlet in the run?

I've heard the polarity doesn't matter...but want to make sure I'm
not going to short it out or something else horrible.

Also, when wiring up lights, does it matter which color wire I run
to the switch? Most of the how-to articles show cutting the white
wire...does it make any difference?

Please, hire an electrician.
