If you look at most receptacles, the manufacturer's writing on the
outlet is right side up with the ground prong up.

I vote up.

We were required to put them "up" in Atlanta health care facilities.


But all those 3 neon bulb outlet testers they sell have their wording
right side up if the outlet is ground prong down. You'd have to stand
on your head to use one if the ground prong was up.

My stove needs a ground prong down outlet, my refridgerator needs a
ground prong up outlet.
