Of course some receptacles are purposely upside down.

As far as the switch is concerned, they may be upside down but wired just fine. A simple "turning" the switch around will cure it.

The industry standard is down is off up is on. If a moron buys the house, he will think he must stand on his head to turn the lights on.

If the light is off...flip the switch. If the light doesn't come on...change the bulb....How to do that is on another thread.

The way I install a Decora switch is I look at the yoke strap and on one end it says (TOP) sp, 3way and 4way. I have seen this on toggle switch also in the past (on up). I have seen on outlets and It was ground up.So if not marked I guess it does not matter which way it goes. I Had this on electrical page but it got lost in the fight real fast.
