BTW -- it hasn't been 220/110 in the United States for a loooooong time. It's
been 240/120 for at least the last 25 or 30 years.

Actually you are wrong too. It is by definition 115/230 and in reality
USUALLY from 115 to 117 per side.

I've heard 110, 115, 117, 118, 120, and 125 for one side. What I
measure here is almost exactly 120 (it drops as low as 118 sometimes).
I seem to remember reading it was 100 at one time.

Older people often say 110 and 220. I will when I'm talking to them,
otherwise I sway 120 and 240.
