On more than one
occasion I recall turning on an electrical appliance only to realize
that there was little to no power emanating.  This non activity
introduces a checklist to identify the reason for no power: Is the
electricity is on? Check! Is the plug inserted into the outlet? Check!
Is the electrical outlet live? Check! Is the plug fully inserted into
the electrical outlet? No!

Has this ever happened with you?

Let's
explore this illustration further shall we? The plug appeared to be
plugged in and properly plugged in with both prongs fitting into their
corresponding slots, however, the plug was not fully PLUGGED IN. It may
seem like a matter of semantics...
