> Not to get into nit-picking, but according to the terminology in the CEC and NEC, the "grounding" conductor is for the safety ground, i.e., the green or bare or green with a yellow stripe wire.  These standards reserve the word "neutral"  for the white when you have a circuit with more than  one "hot" wire.  Since the white wire is connected to neutral and the grounding conductor inside the panel, the proper term is "grounded conductor".     The important thing to remember is that the groundED conductor carries the full load current and the groundING conductor never does so unless there is a fault, and that's why in the US, no other connections from neutral to ground are allowed.    But using these terms helps me remember why things are done the way the code specifies they should be done.
