Alan,

Actually, that would be your fourth language, to wit, "NEC English." [Linked Image] To that part of the US population who doesn't read the NEC in their leisure time, a "receptacle" is known as an "outlet", or a "socket." With a few illiterate types who call them "plugs." (To the rest of us, a "plug" is the male connector on the end of a cord.)

Regards,

Solar
