How on earth is this legal? Do you *really* think most people will be savvy
enough to know that you're supposed to connect the tab to a proper earth?
Would they even know what a proper earth was?
There is absolutely no way of ensuring the earth is ever connected at all! A
properly designed 3pin connector ensures the earth is always connected first,
and disconnected last. It's the *only* safe way to work.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

I'm not suggesting to cut the ground pin off. When you use an AC ground lift
they come with a metal ring to re-direct the ground connection so that
equipment using different power sources can share a common ground.

Potential difference by getting the power from different main jacks or

There is no such thing as an AC power ground lift. The correct term, and
please don't take it personally, is _criminal_ _incompetence_.
It sometimes makes sense to lift the AC ground if you are pulling power
from more than one source. (To prevent ground loops) As long everything
is grounded to the remaining source correctly.
