All of the outlets in our house have the ground down.
We do have some in the living room that are mounted sideways to
accommodate a narrow space below large windows.

That does make sense... but it seems to me that sideways would be even
better (with hot down).

If conductive debris falls on a plug and it has even the tiniest
bit of the prongs exposed, you want the debris to touch the ground
first.
But they look stupid like that and many wall warts assume ground
will be down.
I have not looked at the receptacle plastic molding lately, but
they used to have arrows on them showing ground to be up.

Code now states that ground does not have to face up. that lasted
a few years and some electricians like to stick to what they were
told is "code". Makes me wonder if they ever research new
implementations on electrical work, or just stick to what they know...

We added an addition to the quarters at the ambulance I worked
for, I came in just as the electircian was finishing up and
saw them all ground up. I told him I didnt want to be "that
guy" but they were upside down. He explained the reason, said
it was code too, but ive never verified that, but the reason
makes sense, so ground up ever since for me

Same as the proper way to pronounce the word “often”.
(Rhymes with soften).
I am OK with being totally right and nobody agreeing
with me.

Yeah, probably no box, just drywall for the photo.
But I would say the receptacle is upside down too.

kind of thing)

Also, the way that outlet is mounted is... nice!
