RE: Enlighten me ...

In the United state we have polarized two prong plugs. One prong is wider than the other, so you cannot plug it in the wrong way. On equipment where it doen't matter, we have non- polarized 2 prong plugs, where the blades are the same. 3 pronged plugs are always polarized. The picture above is a polarized two prong plug. Note the different sized blades. All modern outlets are sized for polarized blades. A non polarized plug will fit in them either way. A polarized plug will not fit in the older non-polarized outlets either direction. No danger there.
