Default Why aren't all extension cords grounded if it's code that your outlet be grounded?

I wouldn't sweat it, unless you have a lot of stuff with grounded
plugs and have to use lots of 2-to-3-prong adapters (which does get
really annoying).


The irritation can be removed by the surgical use of a Dremel equipped with
a cut-off blade.
