That was done by the inspector before we purchased the house, and yeah, I did it again myself after we moved in. Only one outlet had reversed polarity, and it was a simple matter of swapping the hot and the ground. There’s no voltage from ground to neutral in the breaker box, so this latent voltage is downstream from the switch only.
