I'm playing the devil's advocate (with the definition of "grounded" here. The original comment said he had an ungrounded box. My comment was to question weather he had an ungrounded box or an installation fault that needed to be fixed. If "ungrounded" is defined as having been originally built without a ground that's one thing. If "ungrounded" is defined as 'the ground no longer exists, (regardless of the cause or reason)' that's something else. The second definition tells me that when we mess up and break off the ground (too short to use) we merely treat it as ungrounded. The first definition tells me I have to fix the damaged wire and re-establish the ground within the box. Again...just being the devil's advocate here; not arguing with people's comments.
