Greetings from Berkeley, California

After reading this, I checked the two blade plugs on my appliances. They are all solid metal, not folded, with the exception of a grounded to ungrounded adaptor.

The two blade plug also has a flared bottom, making it hard to get at the blades while removing it from the receptacle. From personal experience I think this works well.

In my local area, I see the many different plug configurations from other countries, and I have found this forum to very helpful in understanding how and why things are done differently.

I hope I can add to it as well.
