Does the 2008 NEC specify which way to orient 3-prong outlets?
Should it be
ground on top

or
ground on bottom

?
The tradition seems to be ground on bottom, but I heard it is safer to
have
ground on top so falling coins are less likely to short out a loosely
plugged in plug.
What is this? About the 3 billionth time this has been discussed?
So what?
