Default 3 prong outlet, which way is up?

Ground up does not work well with all plugs (then again ground
down does not work well with some other plugs.)


I recently bought some power strips for the office and the plug rotates so
it can be use in either direction or even at 45 degrees if you want. All
the new recepticals installed during a remodel are ground up.


I just saw a 3-pack of "outlet savers" in a store. Those are the
things that are supposed to let you use all the outlets in a power
strip, even when you have several wall-warts. $2 each is a really high
price to pay for 6-inch extension cords.
