A is the first intention but B is done now because if cord or wire were to fall down on a partially plugged on outlet A it would cause a short
This is correct. Any metal object that falls on it will create a short with A. B is safer. I speak from experience.

I used to do B on all my switchable (lamp) outlets. That way you knew which one was on the switch.

It's A. When flood waters come up it will reach the ground first and short out the circuit.
If it's B and the flood water reaches the two blades, you get electrocuted!
At least that's what I've been told by one electrician.

Technically its B
The Life Saftey Code / NEC thought process is that if someone has / wears a dangling chain that when they lean over to use the outlet if the chain was to come into contact with the outlet and/or plug the first point of contact would be the ground.

Glade plug-ins leak.
What industrial sized glade plugin do you use that requires a ground plug?

B has been used in hospitals for 10 or 20 years now for these reasons.

That has nothing to do with it. Nothing will happen when water hits the ground.

I think he was referring to the hot being higher(3/8") higher than the ground.

Why the frick would a glade plugin be polarized? It's a pretty simple heating element, right? I'm calling bullshite on this whole plugin issue.

The orientation of the grounding terminal on a receptacle is not specified in the NEC. The ground terminal can be up, down, right or left. Proposals to the NEC to specify the
mounting position of the grounding terminal were all rejected. As long as they are not mounted in a counter top face up.

When installed horizontal I like the hot up in case of high water!
Actually, on outside receptacles I do that because all covers leak so the hot being up might help.
