[quote iaJim]Don't the 3 to 2 prong adapters have a wire that can be connected to the plate mounting screw? That should ground the device.
Yes, IF the screw is grounded. If you have metal junction boxes & metal conduit, it should be. But most modern wiring seems to use plastic. In that case, a separate grounding wire is needed.
