And what was your previous standard? It may have been significantly worse than North American plugs.

North American plugs are actually fine.

I can't find pictures of it but keeping in mind the same basic two prong setup, remove the sunken safety socket, ground prongs, ground line and socket safety shutter.

It was essentially a flat face plate with two holes on it.

Ya, that's way worse than North American plugs. We have a deep ground pin, and the slots hold plugs pretty tightly.
