2- 250.140 Exception No. (2): For existing branch-circuit installations only where an equipment grounding conductor is no--->not present in the outlet or junction box, and-->an equipment grounding conductor sized in accordance with 250.122 shall be permitted to be run separately from the circuit conductors.

3- 240.142 Exception No. 5: It shall be permissible to ground an existing panelboard enclosure by connection to the grounded circuit conductor for a one-and two- family dwelling where all the following conditions apply:

(1) When relocation or installing an additional main disconnection means;
(2) Enacting 250.142(B) Exception No5(1) redefines the existing service entrance conductors as a feeder in Article 100;
(3) An equipment grounding conductor in the existing panelboard is not present;
(4) Replacement of the existing service entrance conductors requires either the removal of the building finish or deemed impractical by the AHJ;
(5) All grounding electrode conductors are removed completely from the existing panelboard; and
(6) The grounded conductors are insulated by tape, heat-shrink, or other approved means except where covered by the sheathing of a cable assembly or as needed for joints, splices, and termination purposes.

4- 250.53(A)(2) Supplemental Electrode Required:
Exception No. 2: The supplemental ground electrode shall not be required at temporary electrical service installation (saw service pole) at a construction site provided all ungrounded circuits do not exceed 150 volts to ground and the rating of the single disconnection means or summation of the ratings of multiple overcurrent devices that serve together as the disconnection means, does not exceed 100 amperes.

5- 300.9 Raceways in wet locations above Grade:
Exception: The raceway shall not be considered a wet location if:

Is that all you got out of this--haha- this is the south... Always misspellings everywhere.

Your posts reminded me of my friend, a builder, who handed his bill to the customer and she took out a red pen and corrected all the spellings etc... She was a school teacher.

LOL. I'm kind of a stickler for spelling too although I admit to making an occasional error. I was just reading some reviews on Amazon, lot's of barely literate people writing reviews there, your teacher would have a field day with her red pen.

I saw a sign that stated "Please feel out the forms in ink" If you listen to a southerner the word "fill" is pronounced more like the word "feel"
