It only affects the outlets that you connect the wires incorrectly on. The
hot wire stay hot, and the neutral stays neutral. If you reversed the "load"
connections, then you'd be running your hot through a white wire, and
neutral through a black or colored wire

Think about it. If you have one receptacle wired to another, and the
first is wired wrong it is not a "correct" source for feeding the
other.

You need to think about it a little more yourself.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.

OK, no troll, I'm confused.

If you have two outlets on a circuit, and outlet one has hot wired to
neutral, would it not make sense that the downstream plug will also have
juice at the neutral side as well?
Or are you implying that it just really isn't an issue when plugging
something into either outlet?
