This was probably not the time to tell him that it has two receptacles, but NO plugs.:roll:

Hey ,it's cool and saved you a trip. Maybe he wanted a way to save face, thats cool too. He probably has no idea just what this would have cost you. Invite him to join.

We will all get lots of practice when he pulls out his code book on the next job he inspects for you. Remember to cross your staples and dot your stackers on his turf.

I think Jim was right in that he was just trying to save face.

There's that word again.
rob, you may have to work this out in therapy.... to the unwashed masses of
humanity, and some electricians, that thingy over on the wall there is a "plug".
we "plug something in"... we don't generally "receptacle something in".
i do, however, feel your pain.......

You're right we plug something in. The plug is on the end of the cord not in the wall.

I agree with infinity here lets pretend to be educate professionals
On a serious note proper nomenclature is a serious issue. I notice a large percentage of the guys I have worked with over the years are seriously lacking in this area.
"Hey that grounded conductor is loose!"
(Deer-in-headlights-look)
"Secure that white wire right there."
"Duh.....okay"

LOL yeah, you have to consider the person your talking to.
Here I will usually say ungrounded conductor but at work it is 'the hot'.

My 2 cents....I just read the section and would have to go with a 20A GFI duplex receptacle there. Thats what I put in my bathrooms on a dedicated 20a circuit. Like a dollar more.

Maybe only a dollar more, but totally unnecessarily. What do you need the T-slot for?
The only difference between 15a and 20a receptacles of a given grade is the slot shape.

I agree 100% and more. That is a much needed dollar back in my pocket!
