however many install the ground pin up on ac outlets. I believe the thought process here is - if a power cord should become loose, but not completely disconnected from the outlet, and expose its metal prongs, if something were to fall on the exposed prongs (across live & neutral) it would obviously create some fireworks. Having the ground pin up can act as a shield.
