Discussions here have centered around ground down, except when the
outlet is on a wall switch. I doubt most people would know that
code if they didn't own the home when it was under construction, but
those who pay attention could notice the difference and ask or figure
it out.

Each of the four switched outlets in my house are ground up. The
bottom receptacle is on the switch and the top one is hot. The switch
was indicated by a small sticker on the switch (until folks get use to
the new house).

By visually looking I know they are switched, so treating repairs
accordingly.

New stone in the mix: Does the ground go into the center?
