Guess again.

I run into it virtually every day in machine shops all over California.

Hint: green and bare are both used for equipment grounding, and the NEC
prohibits the use of either for any other purpose. Do you tell me that

*no* neutral when supplying 120V loads?

Very few industrial is single phase, but the few that are....shrug..are
as I stated above.

In any event, that's entirely beside the point, as he's talking about a
*residential* installation anyway -- in which the conductor colors are exactly
as I described.

Shrug. I guess you go to higher class places than I do.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
