    Growing up with a similar standard, hearing people saying the exact same thing then, at some point the standard was altered, so someone found the previous lacking on some front.

    I’m as defensive of mine as you are of yours.

      And what was your previous standard? It may have been significantly worse than North American plugs.

      North American plugs are actually fine.

        I can’t find pictures of it but keeping in mind the same basic two prong setup, remove the sunken safety socket, ground prongs, ground line and socket safety shutter.

        It was essentially a flat face plate with two holes on it.

          Ya, that’s way worse than North American plugs. We have a deep ground pin, and the slots hold plugs pretty tightly.
