Many rooms in my place have light switches tied to outlets. Usually just a single switched plug per room. I know where they all are now but it would have been good if there was a little light icon on each plug.
Still, now that I know, I’m not sure I actually want to add that icon, since I know where it is and I’ll either plug in a light (in which case I know easily) or I won’t (in which case I don’t care).
I hate that. I would flip them around the first time I encountered that. There are many things that can be done, from switch covers to lighted/unlighted/colored switches next to each other. All better and more foolproof options

Some electricians install the receptacles upside-down if they’re switched.
